Sector I. Environmental and Social Considerations on

Programs and Projects of the IWRM Plan
I.1 Introduction
The IWRM Plan prepared during the present study is consist of six (6) sectors including 18 proposed
and 30 conceptual programs and projects1, which cover multi-sectoral fields, such as agricultural and
irrigation development, municipality water supply, sanitation, sewerage, flood and disaster
management, watershed management, water related environment management, and water resource
management to support the Government of Philippines in managing water resources in a sustainable
manner.
In order to assess if the implementation of any of the proposed programs and projects would create
any adverse impacts on natural and social environments in the localities, the Study Team conducted a
simple initial environmental examination (IEE) of the proposed projects by using screening and
scoping methods. In addition, the present legislative and institutional framework governing
environmental assessment in the country was also reviewed. The results of the simple IEE are
summarized in the following sections.
1
The proposed programs and projects are planned by the relevant government agency, while the conceptual programs and
projects are proposed by the Study Team and subjects for further revision to determine the project components. Basically, the
programs and projects in the IWRM Plan have been prepared in consultation with the stakeholders in the course of the Study.
I-1
I.2 Existing Legislation and Legal Systems governing Environmental

and Social Consideration in Philippines
I.2.1 Current Overall Legal Framework
In Philippines, any private or public projects or activities which are envisaged to have a negative
impact on the environment are subjects of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) by Philippine
Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS). EIA is the preliminary analysis of the potential
impacts of the project on the environment. Aware of the possible negative effects of the
implementation of industrial and other activities, the government had instituted measures to encourage
the use of EIA as a planning and decision making tool.
PEISS is a set of laws, regulations, administrative orders and guidelines for EIA. Among them some of
the most important laws and guidelines are listed below.
I.2.1.1 Environmental Impact Statement System, Presidential Decree No. 1586 (1978)
An act establishing and centralizing the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) System under the
National Environmental Protection Council (NEPC), which merged with the National Pollution
Control Commission (NPCC) in June 1987 to become the Environmental Management Bureau
(EMB).
I.2.1.2 Presidential Proclamation No. 2146 (1981) and No. 803(1996)
It proclaims Environmentally Critical Projects (ECPs) to have significant impacts on the quality of the
environment and Environmentally Critical Areas (ECAs) as environmentally fragile areas within the
scope of the EIS System.
I.2.1.3 DENR Administrative Order No. 30 Series of 2003 (DAO 03-30), Revised Procedural
Manual (2007)
It provides implementing rules and regulations of Presidential Decree No. 1586, establishing the
Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System (PEISS). Also, detailed information in definitions
of technical terms, procedures, related laws and regulations are described.
I.2.1.4 Recent Issued Memorandum Circulars (MCs) Relevant to PEISS
(1) MC No. 2010-14, Standardization of Requirements and Enhancement of Public
Participation in the Streamlined Implementation of the Philippine EIS System
It prescribes streamlined procedures of PEISS, especially for application of ECC
(Environmental Compliance Certificate) and CNC (Certificate of Non-Coverage) with the
outlines of the relevant EIA reports and CNC application form required.
(2) MC No. 2010-002, Clarification to DENR MC No.2010-14 and Other EIS System Policy
Issuances
It clarifies the outlines of EIA reports described in MC No.2010-14 for the relevant report
types defined by DAO 03-30 Revised Procedural Manual as well as exemption of the certain
projects from securing ECC regardless their location.
I.2.2 Procedures of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
The procedures of EIA can be grouped into; pre-study stage (screening and scoping), EIA study stage
and the post-study stage (review, decision-making and monitoring) as shown in the following diagram.

Since the official GIS data of ECAs is under preparation according to EMB2, the Study Team prepared
the map of the potential ECAs located in Region 3 as shown in Annex- F I.2.2.1.based on the available
GIS data referred to Annex-T.I.2.2.1.
I.2.2.2 Responsible Government Institutions for PEISS
The review and supervision of PEISS are conducted by the Environmental Management Bureau
(EMB), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The respective organization
charts of DENR and EMB are shown in Annex-F I.2.2.2 and 2.2.3, respectively.
DENR is the government entity which is mandated to handle issues related to following five tasks as
described in the legislations concerned:
Assure the availability and sustainability of the country's natural resources through judicious use and
systematic restoration or replacement, whenever possible;
Increase the productivity of natural resources in order to meet the demands for forest, mineral, and
land resources of a growing population;
Enhance the contribution of natural resources for achieving national economic and social
development;
Promote equitable access to natural resources by the different sectors of the population; and
Conserve specific terrestrial and marine areas representative of the Philippine natural and cultural
heritage for present and future generations.
Under the framework of PEISS, EMB is responsible for the issuance of decision making documents
such as Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC), Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC) and Denial
Letter. Also, EMB Regional Offices in respective regions are primary responsible for the consultation
and supervision of development projects.
I.2.2.3 Required Documents by PEISS
To help identifying required documents under PEISS for consultation and decision making by EMB -
DENR, the projects are classified into five major groups as shown in Annex-T I.2.2.2 and summarized
below.

Group III
Areas)
Group IV Co-located Projects in either ECA or NECA
Group V Unclassified Projects
EIA-covered projects listed above require either of follows depending on the project type, location,
magnitude of potential impacts and project threshold.
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS),
Programmatic EIS (PEIS),
Initial Environmental Examination Report (IEER),
IEE Checklist (IEEC),
Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan (EPRMP),

Although the MC No.2010-004 prescribes the guidelines for use of screening and ECA map systems, the ECA map has not
been completed yet according to the EMB staff.
I-5
Programmatic Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan (PEPRMP), or
Application form to be processed in the Automated Processing System (APS)3.
All documents should be prepared by the project proponent to be submitted together with the
following information to the EMB Central Office or the Environmental Impact Assessment Division in
respective EMB Regional Office:
Proof of compatibility with the existing land use plan, if necessary,
Proof of ownership or authority over the project site,
Accountability Statements of the proponent and the EIS preparers,
Photographs or plates of the project site, impact areas an affected areas and communities,
Duly Accomplished Project Environmental Monitoring and Audit Prioritization Scheme (PEMAPS)4
Questionnaire,
Copy of Previous ECC (if any), and
Latest Self Monitoring Report(SMR) 5 (if with previous ECC, Compliance Monitoring Report
(CMR)Format6).
The above information also can be included or attached to the respective EIA report. Then, the
decision documents may either be an ECC, CNC or a Denial Letter, described as follows.
Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC)
An ECC is issued as a certificate of Environmental Compliance Commitment to which the
proponent conforms with after DENR-EMB explains the ECC conditions.
Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC)
A CNC certifies that the project is not covered by the EIS System and is not required to secure an
ECC, based on the review of submitted application form under APS.
Denial Letter
A Denial Letter is issued for disapproval of the application. It shall contain an explanation for the
disapproval and guidance on how the application can be improved to a level of acceptability in
the EIA process.
In addition, ECC amendment is one of the decision documents for the existing co-located projects for
modification or re-starts up of the single or projects as well as the operating projects without ECCs.
Following table shows the types of EIA report, decision document, deciding authority and processing
duration by project group.
3
Currently APS is an internal system managed by EMB RO although EMB plans to develop an online
application system for CNC with the possible management system of the application fees according to the
interview with EMB staff.
4
PEMAPS is an internal EMB strategy for selecting and prioritizing projects to be subject to compliance
monitoring, based on evaluation by EMB and the Proponent’s responses to the Environmental Risk
Categorization Questionnaire described in the Revised Procedural Manual for DAO 03-30.
5
SMR is a detailed report on compliance to environmental standards specific to environmental laws as
described in Revised Procedural Manual for DAO 03-30.

I.2.2.5 Public Participation in EIA Process
(1) Information, Education and Communication (IEC) and Public Scoping
One of operating principles of the PEISS is to make an accurate disclosure of relevant
information by Project Proponents and other stake holders in the EIA process. DENR
Administrative Order No. 30 Series of 2003 (DAO 03-30) states that Information, Education
and Communication (IEC) of Local Government Unit (LGU) is required at the minimum of
EIS-based applications as part of the social preparation process at pre-Scoping. In fact, the
IEC serves as a basis for preliminary identification of stakeholders and related issues in
preparation for the Public Scoping to be conducted for EIS-based applications.
(2) Further Public Participation in PEISS
Consistent with the basic policy of PEISS wherein the EIA process shall be based on a timely,
well-informed public participation of potentially affected communities, stakeholders in both
direct and indirect impact areas need to be informed of, and consulted on, the project proposal
at earliest EIA stage as possible12.
With an aim of disclosure of the EIA findings for ECPs, Public Hearing or Public
Consultation shall be implemented with the participation of all the stakeholders.
With an aim of disclosure of the EIA findings, Public Hearing shall be implemented for
EIS-based applications wherein Public Scoping was undertaken. A wavier of the Public
Hearing requested by the Proponent may be granted by the DENR-EMB if there is no
mounting opposition or written request for one with valid basis. In such cases, the Public
Consultation might be conducted instead.
The notice of Public Hearing shall provide explicit instruction on registration, access to the
EIA report, preparation of position papers, and on mechanics how issues may be received
before or during the hearing. Prior to Public Hearings or Public Consultations, the proponents
is required to give copies of EIA report and relevant documents to EMB regional offices,
LGUs and other stakeholders for a well-informed participation in the hearing/consultation
process.
(3) Involvement of Indigenous Peoples in decision-making process
In 2006, NCIP Administrative Order No.1, namely, the Free and Prior Informed Consent
(FPIC) guidelines, was promulgated by the National Commission of Indigenous People
(NCIP). The objective of the guideline is to ensure genuine participation of Indigenous
Cultural Communities (ICC) and Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in decision-making as well as to
protect the rights of ICCs/IPs in the introduction and implementation of activities that will
impact upon their Ancestral Domains/Lands(ADs/ALs).
Also, the guideline details the process for conducting Field Based Investigation (FBI) and
obtaining the Certification Precondition from the NCIP attesting that the applicant has
complied with the requirements for securing the affected ICC/IP’s FPIC. It is required for
the EIS (Environment Impact Statement)-based projects which can affect the ADs to follow
the FCIP procedures.
NCIP regional office is responsible for receiving applications for the issuance of Certificate
Precondition as well as implementing FBI and overseeing the process to obtain the FPIC from
the IPs/ICCs.

I.3.4 Screening and Scoping of the Programs and Projects based on the JICA Guidelines for
Environmental and Social Considerations
All the proposed and conceptual programs and projects of the IWRM Plan were re-examined in
accordance with JICA Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations, so that the Study
Team could formulate the IWRM Plan to minimize any adverse impacts. To do so, the following
procedures were taken.
Step 1 Screening: All the 18 proposed and 30 conceptual programs and projects including the
alternative options were screened by using a checklist as shown in Annex-T I.3.4.1.
Step 2 Scoping: The potential impacts which are expected by a project were further reviewed to
evaluate the extent and nature of the respective impacts.
Step 3 Selection of the mitigation measures: Based on the evaluation, mitigation measures to the
projects with potential adverse impacts were proposed.
I.3.5 Result of Initial Screening and Scoping of the Programs and Projects in IWRM Plan
As for the impact assessment of the Screening, the relevant environmental impact items were ranked
depending on its environmental and social significance in accordance with rating criteria listed below.
Rating Criteria
・A+/-: Significant positive/negative impact is expected.
・B+/-: Some positive/negative impact is expected.
・C+/-: Extent of positive/negative impact is unknown. (A further examination is required in
the further project formulation)
・-: No negative impact is expected.
The results of the initial screening of all the proposed and conceptual programs and projects in the
IWRM Plan are shown in Annex-T I.3.4.1. Accordingly, there are 11 programs and projects including
10 options with the rating of A- and/or B- on the relevant environmental impact items as summarized
below.

Sector J. Guideline for Formulation of IWRM Plan
J.1 General
J.1.1 Objectives of the Guideline
This Guideline aims at attaining the following objectives:
(1) The Guideline shall furnish the definite procedures and methodologies for formulation of the
IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin.
(2) The outputs of the Guideline shall be presented to and consented by the stakeholders in the
course of the study. Thus, the Guideline shall be used as a tool for consensus building of the
stakeholders on the proposed IWRM Plan.
(3) The Guideline is especially prepared for Pampanga river basin. However, its substantial part of
the outputs shall be useful as the reference to and/or standards for formulation of the IWRM Plan
for other river basins.
J.1.2 Basic Concept on the IWRM Plan
The IWRM would be a flexible tool for optimizing of the sustainable development of the water
resources as quoted from the “Catalyzing Change”, a handbook issued by Global Water Partnership.
The IWRM is also assumed not to be a goal in itself, but it should be an approach to promote the
coordinated development and management of water resources and maximize the resultant economic
and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystem.
The process of IWRM shall move forward like a spiral with several different stages starting from the
initial primitive stage toward the mature stages as shown in Figure J.1.1.1. Each of the stages in the
process of IWRM shall cover the sequence of the four (4) steps of: (a) assessment of existing
conditions, (b) planning (i.e., formulation of the IWRM Plan), (c) implementation of the projects for
IWRM and (d) monitoring on the results of the project implementation. Moreover, the accountability
to and synergy with the stakeholders has to be assured through involvement of the multi-stakeholders
at every steps of the IWRM.
The present stage for the IWRM in Pampanga river basin is the initial spiral stage, and of the above
four (4) steps, the present study supports those of items (a) and (b). The follow-up activities after the
present study are indispensable to completion of the initial spiral stage of the IWRM.

J.2 Planning Procedures - Overview

As described above, this Guideline is to furnish the definite procedures and methodologies for
formulation of the IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin. The procedures together with
methodologies for plan formulation are summarized as below:
Step 1: Assessment (Identification of the Problems and Issues on IWRM)
Assessment on the principal problems and issues on the IWRM in Pampanga river basin shall be made
as the basic approach to formulation of the IWRM Plan. The problems and issues are latent in the
various aspects such as: (a) the water resources development, allocation and distribution for the
irrigation, the municipal water and other various water demands, (b) the flood and sediment disaster
management, (c) the watershed management and (d) other water-related environment managements.
Moreover, some of the problems and issues are not limited into a single sector but they extend across
several sectors causing the inter-sector conflicts.
Step 2: Setting of the Planning Framework
The planning frameworks shall be set as the preconditions for formulation of the IWRM Plan. The
principal items of the planning frameworks are such as:
 Target completion year of the entire plan,
 Socio-economic frames by the target year,
 Visions, objectives and sector goals of IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin, and
 Ceilings for the Project Investment Cost.
The details on setting of the planning framework are as described in the following subsection J.3.1.
Step 3: Selection of the Potential Projects for IWRM of Pampanga River Basin
Various government agencies and non-government entities currently implement and/or propose the
projects, which could cope with the aforesaid issues and/or problems on IWRM and make a
contribution to the visions, objectives and sector goals for the IWRM Plan. These on-going and
proposed projects shall be identified as the components of the IWRM Plan. The details on selection
of the projects for IWRM are as described in subsection J.3.2.
In addition, the conceptual projects, which are essentially required to solve the issues and/or problems
but currently neither implemented nor proposed, shall also be further proposed as the components of
the IWRM Plan.
Step 4: Preliminary Study on Alternative Approaches to the Specific Issues
Some of the projects selected as the potential components of the IWRM Plan in the above Step3 may
contain several alternative approaches to cope with their own specific issues. The optimum plan
among the alternative approaches would be ideally determined before finalizing of the IWRM Plan.
However, the feasibility study shall be required to determine such optimum plan. On the other hand,
the IWRM Plan would involve numerous projects to attain a variety of water-related development
scenarios, and therefore, the feasibility study would be hardly carried out, in detail, for each of the
individual projects. From this point of view, the IWRM Plan shall take the following fundamental
rules:
 The feasibility study shall be included as a part of the project and undertaken before
commencement of the physical project works.
 The outline of the project features together with the project investment cost required shall be
provisionally assumed talking the conceptual alternative approaches into account, and
 The preliminary study on the project(s) may be carried out to estimate the most-likely optimum
plan, when the project is judged to prominently influential to the entire IWRM Plan and at the
same time, the basic information for the preliminary study are available.
J-2
The details on the preliminary study on the alternative approaches are as described in subsection J.3.3.
Step 5: Grouping of the Projects
The projects selected as the IWRM Plan in the above Step3 shall be divided into Group-A and
Group-B in order to facilitate the programming of the under-mentioned project development scenarios
and the project implementation schedule/the project investment program. The projects in Group-A
have to be implemented in accordance with the basic social and natural requirements regardless to the
amount of the project cost. All projects not included into Group A are classified into Group B. The
typical projects classified in Group B are such as the regional economic development project and the
projects for mitigation of the water related disaster, which shall be implemented by the special budget
during the specific term(s). The details on grouping of the projects are as described in subsection
J.3.4.
Step 6: Setting of Development Scenarios by and Phased Implementation Schedule for the
Projects in Group-A
The target development scenario for the project in Group-A shall be set as the prerequisite for the
phased project implementation schedule. That is, the development scenario shall be firstly delineated
and, then, the phased implementation schedule shall be programmed in order to attain the development
scenarios. The details on development scenarios by and phased implementation schedule for the
projects in Group-A are as described in subsection J.3.5.
Step 7: Evaluating and Prioritizing of the Projects in Group-B
The projects classified into Group-B in the above Step5 shall be evaluated in order to prioritize them.
The evaluation is made to the inter-sector projects, which extend over the various water-related sectors
such as (a) the agriculture/irrigation and fishery development, (b) the municipal water supply,
sewerage and sanitation, (c) the flood and sediment disaster management, (c) the watershed
management and (d) water-related environment management. The details on evaluating and
prioritizing of the projects in Group-B are as described in subsection J.3.6.
Step 8: Development Schedules by and Phased Implementation Schedule for the Projects in
Group-B
The phased implementation schedules for the projects in Group-B shall be programmed in accordance
with the priority orders of the projects as evaluated in the above Step7 and the ceilings of the project
investment cost for each of the short-term, the mid-term and long-term. Then, the phased
development scenarios shall be delineated as the resultants of the phased implementation schedule.
However, when the development scenarios proposed by the priority orders of the projects are hardly
accepted by the stakeholders, the priority orders shall be reexamined and a certain modification for the
phased implementation schedule as well as development scenarios shall be made. The details on the
development schedules by and the phased implementation schedule for the projects in Group-B are as
described in subsection J.3.7.
Step 9: Formulation of the IWRM Plan for Pampanga River Basin
The implementation schedules, the investment programs and the development scenarios of the projects
shall be finalized by integrating the outputs given in the above Step6 and Step8, and the following
items shall be clarified:
 The phased programs in the short term (2011-2015), the mid-term (2016-2020) and the long
term (2021-2025),
 The expected eligible financial source for the projects,
 The implementation bodies for the projects,
 The sectors, which the projects would belong, such as (a) agriculture/irrigation and fishery
development, (b) municipal water supply, sanitation and sewerage, (c) flood and sediment
disaster management, (d) watershed management, and (e) water-related environment
management.
J-3
The details on formulate the IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin are as described in subsection
J.3.8.
Step 10: Formulation of Institutional Setup Plan
The optimum institutional setup plan, which would be required to execute the aforesaid spiral
processes of IWRM for assessment, formulation, implementation and monitoring of the projects, shall
be also proposed.
J-4
J.3 Planning Procedures - Details

J.3.1 Setting of Planning Framework
As described above, the planning framework shall be set as the preconditions for formulation of the
IWRM Plan. The principal items to be included in the planning framework are as enumerated below:
(1) Target Year
The target year is the completion year for all of the proposed projects in IWRM Plan. In this
study, the target year is set at 2025, and the project implementation period is divided into the
following three (3) terms: (a) Short-term for a period from 2011 to 2015, (b) Mid-term for a
period from 2016 to 2020 and (c) Long-term for a period from 2021 to 2025.
(2) Socio-economic Frame
The socio-economic frame is to prescribe the trends of the socio-economic conditions such as
the population growth and the growth of the GRDP in the study area. These socio-economic
conditions by the above target year are indispensable to estimate the future municipal water
demand, flood damage potentials and other basic information for formulation of the IWRM
Plan.
(3) Visions, Objectives and Sector Goals of IWRM Plan for Pampanga River Basin
The IWRM Plan shall involve the various multi-water-sector-projects/ programs. Hence, the
inter-sector visions are proposed as the principal targets common to all proposed projects for
IWRM of Pampanga river basin. The objectives in the several categories are further assumed
to embody the visions. Moreover, each of the water-related sectors in the IWRM Plan is
provided with the concrete sector goals, which could enhance the objectives and/or visions.
The principal policies in the existing national and/or regional development programs such as
MTPDP 2004-2010, and RPFP, 2005-2030 are referred in setting of the above visions,
objectives and sector goals of the IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin.
(4) Ceilings for the Project Investment Cost
When the implementation of the projects excessively concentrates upon any of the short-term,
mid-term and/or long-term, the total project investment cost may exceed the affordable limit
of the national and/or regional budgetary capacity. From this point of view, the approximate
ceilings of the project investment cost are provisionally estimated for each of the short-term,
mid-term and long-term with referring to the previous actual disbursement for the projects.
J.3.2 Selection of the Eligible Projects for IWRM of Pampanga River Basin
There are a large number of the water related projects, which are currently being undertaken and/or
proposed by various government agencies and private entities in the study area. Of these projects,
those, which are judged to be effective to attain the aforesaid visions, objectives and sector goals, are
selected as the components of the IWRM Plan. Moreover, the JICA Study Team in corroboration with
the members of SC and TWG as well as other stakeholders further worked out the conceptual projects,
which would be essentially required to cope with the water-related problems and issues such as the
water shortage, the flood/sediment disasters and the deterioration of the water-related environment.
It should be noted that the conceptual projects would require either further study such as feasibility
study or determination of the basic project component, before their implementation. The number of
eligible projects for IWRM of Pampanga river basin is as listed below:

J.3.3 Preliminary Study on Alternative Approaches to the Specific Issues

As described in Step 4 in the foregoing subsection J.2, the IWRM Plan deals with a large number of
the projects and therefore, the comparative study on the alternative approaches for each of the projects
shall be hardly carried out, in detail, at the stage of formulation of IWRM Plan. From the above
points of view, the IWRM Plan shall take the three (3) principal rules as described in Step4 in
subsection J.2.
In the formulation of the IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin, it is preliminarily assumed that nine
(9) projects among 84 projects would possible contains the alternative approaches, and the following
two (2) of them were further examined as the objectives of the preliminary study.
 Project for Recovery of Reliability of Water Supply in Angat-Umiray System (Code: IS-C-02)
 Flood Mitigation for Pampanga Delta (Code: FL-C-01)
The above alternative approaches would be compared and the optimum approach shall be selected
from the various points of view such as: (a) economic viability as expressed by EIRR and/or the
project least cost, (b) the financial affordability against the project investment cost, (c) the technical
viability (d) the environmental impacts including those to the natural environments (such as
geographic conditions, the vegetation and the water quality) and the social environments (such as the
house resettlements, lapse of the right of land ownership and loss of the opportunity) and (f)
adaptability to the future possible climate changes. The optimum approach would consist of the
several projects as its components, and these components would be merged into one project.
J.3.4 Grouping of the Projects
As described in the aforesaid Step5 of the planning procedures in subsection 7.2, the potential projects
for IWRM Plan of Pampanga river basin as selected in section 7.4 shall be classified into the Group-A
and B according to their purposes and/or contents. The details for this classification are as described
hereinafter:
(1) Group-A
The following projects shall be classified into Group-A
(a) The projects for basic human needs like the municipal water supply projects, which are
indispensable to secure the life of the people,
(b) The projects, which are indispensable for preservation of the irreversible natural
environments and/or resources, and.
(c) The projects for rehabilitation and/or maintenance of the existing water resources
management facilities, which are indispensable for sustainment of the inherent design
capacity of the facilities.
The projects of the above items (a) to (c) have to be implemented in accordance with the
social, natural and/or physical fundamental requirement regardless to the amount of the
project cost. For instance, the expansion of the safe municipal water supply system has to be
unconditionally required to cope with the growth of the population as the basic human need.
J-6
Moreover, the target development scenarios for the projects in Group-A shall be set as the
prerequisite for implementation of the project. That is, the development scenarios shall be
firstly set, and then the implementation schedule of the projects shall be programmed to attain
the development scenarios.
(2) Group-B
The following projects shall be classified into Group-B
(a) The projects for economic development, which could enhance the growth of the regional
economy and/or improvement of the livelihood in the region,
(b) The projects for mitigation of flood and sediment disasters, which could contribute to the
better public welfare and the growth of the regional economy, and
(c) The ad hoc projects, which could support and/or strengthen the annual regular projects
classified into Group-A
The commencement of the projects for the above items (a) to (c) could be optionally selected
depending on the availability of budget for project implementation. The projects of the
above items (a) and (c) would be implemented by the special budget during the specific
term(s). The phased implementation schedule of the projects in Group-B shall be firstly
determined based on the following two (2) factors into account:
(a) The priority orders of the projects, which could be determined taking the results of
inter-sector project evaluation, and
(b) The ceilings of the project investment cost for each of the short-term, mid-tem and
long-term.
After the phased implementation schedule of the projects is determined, then the development
scenarios shall be delineated as the resultants of the project implementation schedule.
However, when the development scenarios delineated as the resultants of the project
implementation schedule are deemed to be unjustifiable and/or they are hardly accepted by the
stakeholders, the prioritizing of the projects shall be reexamined and a certain modification for
the project implementation schedule as well as the development scenarios shall be made.
J.3.5 Development Scenarios by and Phased Implementation Schedule for the Projects in
Group-A
As described above, the projects classified into Group-A have to be implemented in accordance with
the development scenarios which shall be determined by the essential social, natural and physical
needs regardless to the amount of the project cost. The typical development scenarios and their
corresponding phased implementation schedules for Pampanga river basin are set for as shown in
Table J.3.5.1.

J.3.6 Evaluation and Prioritizing of the Inter-sector Projects in Group-B

Evaluation of the projects, which are classified into Group-B, shall be made to prioritize the projects
and to formulate the phased implementation program for them. The evaluation is made from the
viewpoints of six (6) categories namely: (a) Viability of the Project, (b) Enhanced Livelihood,
(c) Improved Quality of Life, (d) Decentralized Development, (e) Sustained Ecosystem and
(f) Empowered People. Of these categories, the Item (a) of the “Viability of the Project” is the
fundamental factor to judge the viabilities in implementing the project. On the other hand, other
items of (b) to (f) are indexes to evaluate how the project could make a contribution to the aforesaid
strategic objectives.
Each of the categories for evaluation would have further four (4) to five (5) criterions for evaluation as
listed in Table J.3.6.1, and the total number of criterions for evaluation would reach 25 items. Such
rather large number of criterions would be advantageous for the well-balanced evaluation of the wide
range of the projects in various water-related sectors.
J-8

6.4 Empowerment of the vulnerable group*
Note: *: The vulnerable group includes the poor, the indigenous peoples, the women-headed households, the out-of-school
youths, the handicapped and the elderly
Each of the above criterions for evaluation would have three (3) ranks of scores. The projects, which
may be expected to attain the high performance in the criterion, would take the score of 3, while those,
which would attain the lower performance, would take scores of 2 or 1. The detailed criterions for
scoring are as shown in Annex-T J.3.6.1.
(1) Score 3: Achievement of the criterion for evaluation has been already verified and/or it has
been programmed as one of the primary purposes of the project.
(2) Score 2: The project is judged to make a certain indirect contribution to the criterion for
evaluation, although achievement of the criterion is not the primary purpose of the
project and/or it has been clearly verified yet.
(3) Score 1: The project is judged to hardly satisfy the criterion and/or make any contribution to
the criterion.
J.3.7 Development Scenarios by and Phased Implementation Schedule for the Projects in
Group-B
The IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin would include 41 projects classified into Group-B. Of these
projects, 12 ongoing projects are to be implemented in accordance with their existing schedules, which
had already been fixed by the project proponents. On the other hand, other 29 proposed and/or
conceptual projects are to be implemented taking the following prerequisites into account:
 The projects shall be implemented in order of the scores made in the aforesaid inter-sector
project evaluation.
J-9
 The investment cost of the projects shall be accumulated in accordance with the above priority
order of the projects. However, the accumulated investment cost over the sum of the
investment cost for the ongoing infra-development projects1 shall not exceed the ceiling costs
(i.e., 31.6 billion pesos for the short-term, 33.7 billion pesos for the mid-term and long-term).
 When the accumulated investment cost exceeds the ceiling of either the short-term or the
mid-term, the project implementation shall shift to the next term (i.e., from the short-term to
the mid-term or from the mid-term to the long-term) and the accumulation of the investment
cost shall be reset and restart.
 Judging from the scope of the projects, several projects would need the implementation period
of more than 5 years extending over each of the short-term, the mid-term or the long-term.
When the project has the implementation period of more than 5 years, its costs for the first and
second 5-year term are estimated taking the disbursement schedule prepared by the project
proponent and/or the scopes of the projects into account.
J.3.8 Formulation of IWRM Plan
The following items (1) to (5) shall be the components of the IWRM Plan and formulated with
referring to the results of examinations described in the foregoing subsections J.3.5 to J.3.7 (refer to
Figure J.3.8.1):
(1) Project List
The on-going, proposed and conceptual projects, which could be effective to attain the visions,
objectives and sector goals of the IWRM Plan by 2025, shall be proposed and put into the
Project List. The necessary information in the Project List shall include the title of the project,
the implementing body of the project, the necessary project investment cost and the project’s
classification of the aforesaid Group-A and Group-B.
(2) Project Implementation Program
The implementation schedule for each of the above projects shall be proposed as the phased
programs for the short-term (2011-2015), the mid-term (2016-2020) and the long-term
(2021-2025). Some of the projects would be completed within a shingle term, while some
would extend across more than two (2) of the terms.
(3) Project Investment Program
The project investment schedule shall be proposed as the phased program for investment of
the project cost in each of the short-term (2011-2015), the mid-term (2016-2020) and the
long-term (2021-2025). The budgetary source for investment and/or the method for
procurement of the budget shall be also proposed as a part of the program taking the
ownership of the project, the budgetary capacity of the project implementing body and the
possibility of the external financial assistance into account.
(4) Development Scenarios
The phased development scenarios for each of the short-term, the mid-term and the long-term
shall be proposed in accordance with the above phased implementation schedule of the
projects. The development scenarios shall be also proposed by each of the sectors of IWRM
such as (a) agriculture/irrigation and fishery development, (b) municipal water supply,
sanitation and sewerage, (c) flood and sediment disaster management, (d) watershed
management and (e) water-related environment management.

The ongoing infra-development projects include 12 projects in Group-B and 11 projects, which are being undertaken
by NIA, DA and DPWH as the yearly regular program for maintenance and rehabilitation of the existing water related
infrastructures and classified into Group-A.

Figure J. 3.8.1 Image of Output of the IWRM Plan for Pampanga River Basin
J.3.9 Institutional Setup Plan for IWRM of Pampanga River Basin

Institutional and organizational strengthening will be sought out from two (2) aspects:
(1) To manage and/or to coordinate key issues in water resources in the river basin: such as
reasonable allocation and regulation of water rights, upstream and downstream issues in flood
control, watershed management, water quality management, sustainable groundwater
management, etc., and
(2) To establish River Basin Organization (RBO) for Pampanga river basin as the implementing body
for the proposed IWRM Plan in terms of equitable and sustainable development, environmental
conservation, and operation and maintenance of the river facilities and the monitoring system in
the river basin.
The former would be related to the improvement of the Water Code and capacity strengthening of
NWRB as an apex body for water right and water resources management. The latter would be
related to capacity strengthening of sector agencies such as DENR (watershed, forest management,
water quality management), DPWH (flood control and water-related natural disasters), NIA (irrigation
water management) and LGUs (watershed, forest management, water quality management, flood
control and water-related natural disasters, communal irrigation, groundwater management). The
purpose, function, role and responsibility of the stakeholders as well as the financial sustainability and
the regional policy on would be clarified to validate the RBO.
J.3.10 The Stakeholders related to IWRM Plan for Pampanga River Basin
J.3.10.1 Hierarchy of Stakeholders and Preparation of Opportunities for Consensus Building
and Hearing of Opinions
The participation of and consensus building with the stakeholders is essentially required to IWRM. It
is, however, virtually difficult to make consensus with all of the stakeholders, since the number of the
potential stakeholders in Pampanga river basin would be more than 20 million people including those
related organizations and residents living in Pampanga river basin, Metropolitan Manila and the region
from which water is transmitted. Accordingly, the priority stakeholders shall be selected and divided
into three groups with different degree of participation for the planning process as shown in
Table J.3.10.1.

the above items 1 to 2
Three (3) kinds of meeting, which consists of the Steering Committee Meeting, the Technical Working
Group Meeting and the Stakeholder Meeting, are held for hearing of opinions and consensus building
on the proposed IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin. Decision making on consensus in the present
study is basically under responsibility of the core stakeholders which consists of the members of the
steering committee and technical working group. On the other hand, the Stakeholder Meeting aims at
hearing of their opinions. The members for the Steering Committee and Technical Working Group had
been determined at the early stage of the study.
J.3.10.2 Timing and Topics of Meetings
The Steering Committee and Stakeholder Meetings are held as one set at each juncture in the course of
the study. The Technical Working Meetings had been also originally scheduled at each juncture in
the course of the study, but rescheduled, on the way of the study, to be held once a month as far as the
activities of the JICA Study Team continues in Philippines.
The main activities in the Steering Committee and Technical Working Group Meeting include
discussion on pending issues in the previous meetings, decision making and confirmation of agenda
for succeeding stakeholder meeting. On the other hand, in the Stakeholder Meeting, explanation of
the results of the study and hearing of the opinion from the stakeholder are carried out according to the
agenda approved by the Steering Committee and Technical Working Group. The options brought
forward by the stakeholders are to be incorporated into the work in the next step, and the results of the
work are discussed in the next meeting for Steering Committee and Technical Working Group
Meetings.
J.3.11 Schedule for Planning Procedures
As described in subsection J.1.2, the process of IWRM should move forward like a spiral with several
different stages, and each of the stages covers the four sequences of: (a) Assessment of existing
conditions, (b) Planning (i.e., formulation of the IWRM Plan), (c) Implementation of the projects for
IWRM and (d) Monitoring on the results of the project implementation.
The present stage for the IWRM in Pampanga river basin is the initial spiral stage, and of the above
four sequences at this stage, the Item (a) for Assessment of existing conditions and item (b) for
Planning are being undertaken for a 2-year period of from February 2009 to January 2011 as shown in
Figure J.3.11.1.

The target year of the IWRM Plan under this planning stage had been set at 2025 as agreed in the
“Minutes of Meeting on Implementation Agreement for the Study.” On the premise of the target year
2025, the project implementation period is divided into the following three 5-year terms. The phased
implementation schedule as well as the phased investment program for the IWRM Plan is formulated
on the premise of the said three terms.
(1) Short-Term for the period from 2011 to 2015;
(2) Medium-Term for the period from 2016 to 2020; and
(3) Long-Term for the period from 2021 to 2025.
K.1.2 Socioeconomic Framework

K.1.2.1 Projected Population in the Study Area
Since about 99% of the whole extent of the study area belongs to the four provinces of Bulacan,
Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and Tarlac, the population projection for the study area is made based on the
Census for the said provinces. The specific population growth rates for the provinces are assumed
based on the projection by the National Statistic Coordination Board (NSCB), as listed below:

K.1.3 Visions, Objectives and Sector Goals of IWRM for the Study Area
K.1.3.1 Purpose for Setting of Visions, Objectives and Sector Goal
The IWRM Plan would involve multi-water-sector projects such as those in the sectors of:
(i) agriculture/irrigation and fishery development; (ii) municipal water supply, sanitation and
sewerage; (iii) management of flood and sediment disasters; (iv) watershed management,
(v) water-related environmental management; and (vi) water resources development, allocation and
distribution. Taking these multi-sector projects into account, the visions for the IWRM Plan are
proposed as the principal targets common to all proposed projects for the IWRM of Pampanga river
basin. The objectives in the several categories are further assumed to embody the visions. Moreover,
each of the water-related sectors in the IWRM Plan is provided with concrete sector goals, which
could enhance the objectives and/or visions.
K.1.3.2 National and Regional Development Policies
The visions, objectives and sector goals shall be in line with the national and regional development
policies. The policies on the nationwide and/or region-wide socioeconomic development and
political improvement in the Philippines have been delineated through the “Medium-Term Philippine
Development Plan (MTPDP) 2004-2010”1) and the “Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP)
2005-2030, Central Luzon”2). The IWRM Plan Framework in the Philippines3) had been also
formulated through the leadership of NWRB in 2006 as the nationwide roadmap to enhance the
adequate supply of clean water at a reasonable price, while at the same time effectively safeguarding
biodiversity and healthy environment. The details of these national and regional development policies
are as described hereinafter.
(1) Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan 2004-2010
The Philippines recorded the national average poverty incidence of 34% in 2000, which
worsened from 33% in 1997. In the light of such extremely high and aggravating poverty
incidence, the MTPDP 2004-2010 addressed “Poverty Alleviation” as the priority task of the
government. The MTPDP further emphasizes the necessity to accelerate the country’s
economic development, particularly through decentralized development for the small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) and agribusiness, which could lead to the reduction of
unemployment and rural poverty. Taking these conditions into account, the MTPDP set
ten (10) objectives to contribute toward poverty alleviation and national economic
development,
Table K. 1.3.1 Objectives Delineated in MTPDP 2004-2010
Category Objectives
Livelihood (1) Increase of job opportunities and income
Education (2) Increase of enrollment rate of schools
Fiscal Status (3) Creation of fiscal status balanced with right revenues and expenditures
(4) Spread of transport and digital infrastructure network over the country
(5) Sustainable supply of power and water over the country
Decentralized (6) Spread of new centers of government, business and community in Luzon, Visayas
Development and Mindanao
(7) Development of Subic-Clark corridor as the competitive international service and
logistics center in Southeast Asia Region
(8) Execution of elections of high integrity
National Harmony (9) Peace in Mindanao and to all insurgencies
(10) Closure of divisive issues generated by the EDSA Revolution
K-2
Of the above objectives, those under the categories of livelihood and decentralized
development in particular are closely related to the water management for the study area, and
they are further elaborated as below.
(a) The Objectives under the Category of Livelihood
The MTPDP stated that poverty in the Philippines is basically the problem in rural areas,
because a majority of the poor are the small and/or landless farmers, the farm workers,
the fisher-folks and the indigenous people, and most of them are engaged in agriculture.
Moreover, they tend to reside in the environmentally vulnerable areas and be
handicapped by the less public service such as power/water supply.
From the above points of view, the MTPDP highlighted agriculture and agro-forestry
development as the principal driving force for job creation, which could lead to poverty
alleviation as well as economic development in rural areas, in particular.
The MTPDP worked out the nationwide vision to create two million jobs in the
agricultural sector, which should have been achieved through development of
two million hectares of new agricultural land. At the same time, the MTPDP stressed
the necessity for increase of agricultural productivity at competitive prices, which could
lead to the incremental income of farmers. Hence, the strengthening of irrigation water
supply and/or expansion of agro-forestry as a part of watershed management would be
highlighted to increase job opportunities in the agricultural sector and the income of
farmers.
(b) The Objectives under the Category of Decentralized Development
The MTPDP addressed the necessity for spreading the new urban centers in Luzon,
Visayas and Mindanao to decongest the overconcentration of economic activities in
Metro Manila and to spur economic growth in the Philippines. The Subic-Clark
corridor, which is partially located in the study area, in particular, is highlighted as the
potential competitive international service and logistics center in Southeast Asia.
Angeles, San Fernando and other major cities located in the study area would also be the
strong candidates as the new government, business and community centers, because of
the existing infrastructures and the easy access to Metro Manila through the North
Luzon Expressway. The development of new bulk water supply systems, sewerage
systems, flood mitigation systems and other water development/management programs
would be the critical factors to create such new urban centers.
(2) Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030, Central Luzon
The RPFP 2005-2030 set forth the following four (4) primary targets of regional development:
 Increase of agricultural productivity, which could lead to the increase of farmer’s
income in particular;
 Reduction of business cost through upgrading of the existing road infrastructure and
strengthening of the linkages between the existing economic zones and their host
municipalities;
 Reduction of the risk on natural calamities such as floods, landslides and
earthquakes/tsunamis; and
 Increase of growth potential through agrarian reform, increase of enrollment rate of
schools and improvement of residents’ physical condition.
All of the above targets are likely to be oriented to the achievement of socioeconomic
development, which could lead to improvement of living conditions and livelihood of
residents finally contributing to poverty alleviation and economic development in the region.
To achieve the visions, the RPFP set the following policies, strategies and/or action plans in
each of the water-related sectors.
K-3
(a) Agriculture/Irrigation and Fishery

 The primary agriculture and aquaculture lands shall be preserved without being
converted to other uses.
 The government shall continue to support agriculture and aquaculture
development, especially in the construction of irrigation and drainage facilities.
 Science and technologies shall be harnessed to increase agriculture and
aquaculture productivity with competitive costs for production.
 Priority shall be given to the development of new irrigation systems in order to
expand the agricultural production areas. Existing irrigation systems shall be also
rehabilitated and improved to increase their efficiencies.
(b) Municipal Water Supply, Sanitation and Sewerage
 The region’s groundwater and surface water resources shall be properly developed
and managed to satisfy the demand and reduced cost for municipal water supply.
 Existing municipal water supply and sanitation facilities shall be rehabilitated,
improved and properly maintained. New facilities shall be also developed to
increase their efficiency and service coverage.
(c) Management of Floods and Sediment Disasters
 Extensive and efficient flood control systems shall be provided to protect the
settlement and production areas, in particular.
 Utmost effort shall be made to retain floodwater in the upper and middle reaches
by suitable reservoir or flood retarding pond/swamp. This would ensure better
control over floods and at the same time, create possible water resources
development for multi-purpose project functions like power generation, irrigation
and recreational facilities.
 Expansion of settlements in areas prone to disasters shall be restrained.
(d) Watershed Management
 The region shall focus on reforestation in open areas.
 Building of settlements and/or livestock production shall be discouraged in the
upland areas with steep ground slopes of more than 18% and 30%, respectively.
Production activities in NIPAS areas shall be also strictly prohibited.
 Massive reforestation of degraded mangrove ecosystems shall be pursued.
(3) Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Plan Framework in the Philippines
The ever-increasing water demand is becoming a critical factor to the socioeconomic
development and global competitiveness in the Philippines. Moreover, there is a critical
linkage between better water management in various sectors and the country’s socioeconomic
development. From these points of view, the MTPDP underscored a need to adopt the
IWRM approach as a more integrated and holistic management of water resources in the
Philippines. This approach involves the coordinated development and management of water,
land and related resources within the hydrological boundaries, to optimize economic and
social welfare without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.
The IWRM Plan Framework delineated four (4) Sustainable Outcomes, which are the medium
to long-term goals for the water resources management in the Philippines. To achieve the
Sustainable Outcomes, nine (9) Strategic Themes, which are either sector or inter-sector
imperatives, are further set forth in the IWRM Plan Framework. The contents of the
sustainable outcomes and strategic themes are as shown below.

K.1.3.3 Visions, Objectives and Sector Goals adopted for the Study
With reference to the above nationwide and/or region-wide development plan and IWRM Plan
Framework, the following visions, objectives and sector goals are adopted for the IWRM Plan of the
study area.
(1) Visions
“Poverty Alleviation” and “Economic Development” are raised as the priority tasks in the
MTPDP. All of the socioeconomic and infrastructure development programs proposed in the
RPFP for Central Luzon are also directed to the said two principal tasks. With reference to
the MTPDP and the RPFP, “Poverty Alleviation” and “Economic Development” are adopted
as the principal visions of the IWRM plan for Pampanga river basin.
It is herein noted that “Poverty Alleviation” is oriented to not only the betterment of
livelihood/increase of income for poverty thresholds but also securing the basic human needs
such as safe drinking water and safe living conditions against flood and other water-related
disasters. At the same time, the approaches to “Poverty Alleviation” shall not be made to
sacrifice the vital ecosystem. Likewise, “Economic Development” shall be oriented to not
only development of the regional economy but also preserving and/or recovery of the
ecosystem in Pampanga river basin.
The related vision statement proposed by a member of TWG is as shown in Table K1.3.3.
Table K. 1.3.3 Vision Statement
The Pampanga river basin (PRB) shall become the most economically advanced river basin in the country
that shall attain the lowest incidence of poverty, fully restored watershed and ecosystems, properly utilized and
managed water resources, adequately provided modern infrastructure facilities, and an empowered citizens in
partnership with transparent, accountable, and development-oriented leaders.
The average ratio of poverty thresholds in the study area as of 2006 is about 20%, which is
lower than the national average of about 33%. Nevertheless, particular attention shall be given
to the ratio of poverty thresholds in Nueva Ecija Province in the study area. The ratio in this
province is about 38%, which exceeds the national average. A majority of the employees in
the province are engaged in the agriculture/forestry sector and one of the crucial issues on
poverty alleviation for the province should be addressed to increment the income of
employees in the sector.
It is further noted that manufacturing, agriculture/forestry and trade are the three (3) major
industries in Region III, which produce the Gross Value Added of more than 50% in the region.
K-5
Accordingly, these three industrial sectors shall take the principal role for the “Economic
Development” in the study area, so that enhancement of the bulk water supply system for
manufacturing and the irrigation system for agriculture would be the important water-related
works to ensure the economic development in the study area. Enhancement of the irrigation
system in particular would be the crucial issue, since Region III is the largest irrigated
paddy-producing district in the country taking the share of about 22% of the national total.
(2) Objectives
To achieve the said principal visions, the following five (5) items are further proposed as the
objectives of the IWRM plan for Pampanga river basin with reference to the MTPDP, RPFP
and IWRM Plan Framework in Philippines:
(a) Objective 1: Enhanced Livelihood
Objective 1 is oriented to the enhancement of the minimum requirement for livelihood,
which shall contribute to poverty alleviation. The importance of this objective is
emphasized in the MTPDP for the Philippines as well as the RPFP for Central Luzon. To
achieve this objective, both the MTPDP and RPFP emphasized the necessity to increase
job opportunities in the agricultural sector, and agricultural productivity with
competitive production costs.
(b) Objective 2: Improved Quality of Life
Objective 2 is oriented to the improvement of the quality of life, which shall be one of
the essential factors for poverty alleviation similar to the above Objective 1. Both the
MTPDP and RPFP highlighted the importance of the following two water management
systems for improvement of the quality of life, namely; (i) the substantial municipal
water supply system, which could promise access to safe drinking water; and
(ii) substantial mitigation system against flood, sediment disasters and other
water-related damages.
(c) Objective 3: Decentralized Development
Objective 3 is the main driving force for the decentralized socioeconomic development
of the existing urban centers in the study area such as Clark Field, Angeles City and San
Fernando City, and the agricultural development in the rural areas. Both the MTPDP
and RPFP highlighted two principal water-related issues to give a strong incentive of
such decentralized development, namely; (i) availability of adequate municipal water
supply for the urban centers and adequate irrigation water supply for the principal
irrigation areas in the study area; and (ii) minimization of damage by floods, sediment
disasters and other water-related disasters in the study area.
(d) Objective 4: Sustained Ecosystem
The above Objectives 1, 2 and 3 would contain active interventions to reform the
existing natural environment, which could result in spoiling the rich biodiversity and the
healthy ecosystem. To avoid such adverse effects to the ecosystem, Objective 4 is to be
launched. The major approaches to attain this objective would include reforestation of
mangroves and other degraded ecosystems and inducement of sanitary facilities and
efforts to improve the quality of surface water.
(e) Objective 5: Empowered People
As described above, water resource development and management shall involve various
sectors such as those for water allocation/distribution, mitigation of water-related
disasters and conservation of ecosystems. To achieve a well-balanced water resources
development and management, it is indispensable to involve all of the stakeholders in
the IWRM Plan and pursue capacity building for them at all stages and key processes.
From this point of view, this objective is proposed as a part of the MTPDP and the
IWRM-RFP and applied in the study.
K-6
(3) Goals of Each of Water related Sectors

To achieve the aforesaid five (5) objectives, the goals for each of the water-related sectors are
assumed, with reference to the MTPDP, RPFP and the IWRM Plan Framework as listed
below.

K.1.4 Grouping of the Projects

As described in Sectors C to H, 84 projects are selected as the eligible components of the IWRM for
Pampanga river basin. These projects are classified into the Group-A and B in order to facilitate
programming of the under-mentioned project implementation schedule and development scenarios.
The detailed criteria for classification to Group-A and B are as described in the foregoing Section J.3.4
in Sector Report J.
As the results of classification, the projects are divided into Group-A and B as listed in Annex-T
K.1.4.1 and summarized Table K.1.4.1. The Group-A includes 43 projects and the investment cost of
about 97 billion pesos in total. The Sector of the “Municipal Water Supply, Sanitation and Sewerage”
requires the largest cost of about 69 billion pesos in Group-A, which correspond to about 71% of the
group total. On the other hand, the Group-B includes 41projects requiring the investment cost of
about 72 billion pesos in total. The Sector of “Agriculture/Irrigation and Fishery” takes 18 projects and
the investment cost of 55 billion pesos in total (or about 76% of the total), which is the largest in
Group-B. The second largest is in the Sector of Management of Flood and Sediment Disasters taking 7
projects and the project investment cost of about 12 billion pesos (about 17% of the total).

K.1.5 Ceiling of Investment Cost for Projects in Group B

The ceiling of project investment cost shall be one of the important factors to determine the
implementation schedule for the projects in Group B. When the implementation of projects
excessively concentrates upon any of the aforesaid short-term, medium-term and/or long-term, the
total project investment cost may exceed the affordable limit of the national and/or regional budgetary
capacity. From this point of view, the approximate ceilings of investment cost for the projects in
Group B are provisionally estimated for each of the short-term, medium-term and long-term, as listed
in Table K.1.5.1. The detailed estimation bases for these ceilings of investment cost are as described
in Section K.1.6.
Table K. 1.5.1 Ceilings of Investment Cost for Projects in Group B

In addition to the above national budget, the LGUs also have a certain budget for the implementation
of water-related projects. Nevertheless, the annual total budgets of the provincial governments in the
study area are in the range of about 1 to 2.4 billion pesos only and such amounts would make it
virtually difficult to shoulder the necessary costs for the major water-related development projects.
K-8
Accordingly, the national budget could be regarded substantially as the sole eligible source for the
implementation of major water-related projects. At the same time, the budget could be unevenly
concentrated to a particular project, which would be implemented during a particular period, provided
that the project implementation is judged to be strategically important for the nation. Moreover, the
national budget has increased in the recent five (5) years with an annual incremental rate of about 11%,
and this incremental tendency is expected to continue for the time being. From these viewpoints, the
ceilings of investment cost for the projects are estimated on the following assumptions:
 The national budget for water-related infrastructure development projects would be able to
continue to increase by 11% per year until the end of the short-term plan (i.e., 2015); and
 Taking into account the maximum percentage of the above national budget allocated to the
study area in the previous years, about 20% of the national budget could be expended, as the
ceiling, for project development in the study area.
Based on the above assumptions, the ceiling of investment by the target year 2025 is estimated at
about 99 billion pesos, and those for short-term, medium-term and long-term plans are as listed in
Table K.1.5.1.

K.2 Project Implementation Schedule

K.2.1 Implementation Schedule for Group-A Projects
As described in Section J.3.4 and J.3.5 in Sector Report J, the development scenarios relevant to the
Group-A projects are firstly conceived taking the basic social and natural needs into account , and then
the implementation schedule for Group-A projects are set up to catch up the development scenarios.
The typical development scenarios are as enumerated below:
 The development scenarios, which have to be timely implemented in accordance with the basic
human needs: The typical scenario is such as development of the bulk municipal water supply
system, which has to be completed in the right term to meet the municipal water demand
increased with the urban population growth.
 The development scenarios, which shall be gradually attained throughout the short, medium
and long-term: The scenarios are oriented to the gradual improvement of the social and/or
natural environments such as (a) increase of the access to the safe drinking water through the
expansion of the pipe water supply system and the sanitary toilets, (b) expansion of the forest
coverage through the yearly regular program of reforestation and (c) increase of the agricultural
activities through the yearly regular maintenance and rehabilitation of the existing irrigation
facilities.
The JICA Study Team proposed the development scenarios for the Group-A projects in due
consideration of: (a) the problems/issues on IWRM in Pampanga river basin (refer to Chapter 6) and
(b) the visions, objectives and sector goals of the IWRM (refer to Section K1.3). The proposed
development scenarios were further reviewed and revised through the TWG meetings on
September 29, 2010, the TWG workshop on October 07, 2010 and the stakeholder meeting on
October 13, 2010 (refer to Annex-T K.2.1.1). As the results, the specific development scenarios for
Pampanga river basin were finally determined and the implementation schedule for Group-A projects
were further proposed in due consideration of the right time for completion of the projects to catch up
the development scenarios. The proposed development scenarios and the relevant project
implementation schedules are as shown in Annexes-T K.2.1.2 and 2.1.3. The details of the
development scenarios are further described in the following Section K.4.1.
K.2.2 Implementation Schedule for Group-B Projects

As described in the Section J.3.4, the Group-B projects are oriented to the following items:
 Development of the regional economy,
 Mitigation of the flood and sediment disasters and
 Support of the yearly regular projects classified into Group-A.
Target completion year of the Group-B project could be optional in general, and the priority order of
the projects is assumed as the principal factor for programming of the implementation schedules for
the Group-B projects. The detailed methodologies for setting of the priority order of the projects and
the implementation schedule are as described in the foregoing Sections J.3.6 in Sector Report J and 7.9
in Main Report.
The priority order of the Group-B projects is determined based on the results of scoring for each of the
project. The scorings for the Group-B projects were firstly made by the JICA Study Team and then the
results of the scorings are reviewed and revised by 13 members of the TWG, who represent the
following agencies: NIA, NPC, BSWM, PHILVOLCS, DENR-RBCO, DPWH-FCSEC, PAGASA,
DILG-Region III, Provincial Gov. of Tarlac (PPDO), Provincial Government of Bulacan (PGENRO),
NEDA-Region III, MWSS, DENR-PAWB and NWRB.
K-10
The specific procedures taken for the scorings of the projects are as below:
(1) The scorings of the 29 proposed and conceptual projects1 were firstly made by the JICA Study
Team as shown in Annex-T K.2.2.4. The results of the scorings were presented to and discussed
by the TWG members in the TWG Meeting on September 29, 2010.
(2) The TWG-Workshop was held on October 7, 2010. Each of the TWG members reviewed the
results of the above scorings by the JICA Study Team, and revised the results of scorings through
the Workshop. The scorings for each of the projects revised by the TWG members are averaged
into the geometric mean as shown in Annex-T K.2.2.5.
(3) Some of the TWG members proposed to make the second-round scorings for the projects not
referring to the results of scoring by the JICA Study Team. This second-round scoring aimed at
attaining more objective and precise results of scorings. In accordance with the proposal, the
second-round scoring was individually made by each of the TWG members in the days following
to the Workshop. However, the second-round scorings were prepared by three (3) members
only.
(4) The limited number of second-round scorings was judged to hardly represent the collective
conclusion of the whole TWG members on scoring. From this point of view, the priority order of
the projects is finally determined according to the first-round scores made during the Workshop
as stated in the above item (2).
In addition to the above priority order of the projects made by the scoring, the ceiling project
investment cost for each of the short, medium and, long-term is another important factor to determine
the implementation schedule for the Group-B projects. The details of the ceiling project investment
cost are as described in Section K1.6, and the projects to be implemented in the short, medium and
long-term are proposed taking the ceiling project investment cost into account as shown in
Annexes-T K.2.2.6 and 2.2.7. The development scenarios to be attained by the proposed
implementation schedule are assumed as shown in Annex-T K.2.2.8 and described in detail in the
following Section K.4.2.
K.2.3 Number of Projects to be Implemented and Project Investment Cost for Each of 5-year
Term
In accordance with the aforesaid the implementation schedules for the Group-A and B projects, the
number of the projects to be implemented in each of the short, medium and long-term is estimated as
shown in Tables K.2.3.1.

including 7 projects to be newly commenced and 14 projects to be completed within the term. The
number of projects to be finally implemented in the long-term is 42, which include 3 projects to be
newly commenced.

K.3 Project Investment Plan

K.3.1 General
It is clarified that a total of about 169 billion pesos would need to be invested for implementation of
the whole projects for IWRM plan of Pampanga river basin (i.e., 84 projects). Of the total project
investment cost, 61.5 billion pesos (36% of the total investment cost) is disbursed in the short-term
and followed by 52.7 billion pesos (31%) in the medium-term and 55.0 billion pesos (33%) in the
long-term as shown in Table K.3.1.1.

Of the total project investment cost of about 169.1 billion pesos, the ongoing projects and the proposed
projects would require the investment cost of 21.5and 77.5 billion pesos, respectively as shown in
Table K.3.1.2. The necessary budgetary sources of a total of 99.0 billion pesos for the ongoing and
proposed projects have been arranged and/or they are being sought by the project proponents. On the
other hand, there is nothing to be done with the project investment cost of about 70.1 billion pesos for
the conceptual projects. The conceptual projects for Municipal Water Supply, Sanitation and
Sewerage Development in particular require the large budgetary sources for their investment of 48.1
billion peso.

As shown in Table K.3.1.3, the public investment by the national government agencies and/or the local
government units would be the major financial sources for all projects other than those for municipal
water supply, sanitation and sewerage development. The public investment could include the private
investment induced by BOT and/or the foreign financial assistance.
In the sector for the municipal water supply, sanitation and sewerage development, the sewerage
development could be implemented through the public investment by the LGUs, while the municipal
water supply development has to be implemented, in principle, through the non-public investment by
the public corporation/private firm.
Almost half of the investment cost (i.e., 34.2 billion pesos) is for the municipal water supply
development by the public corporation and/or private firm. This investment cost is to be recovered
through the collection fee for municipal water supply services. Details on this cost recovery are as
described in the under-mentioned Section K.3.3.

The project investment plan for each of the sectors is as described hereinafter:
K.3.2 Project Investment Plan for Agriculture, Irrigation and Fishery Development
As shown in Table K.3.2.1, the total project cost in this sector, which is to be disbursed by 2025, is
estimated at about 67.8 billion pesos. Of this total project cost, about 98% or 665.5 billion pesos is
used for development and operation/maintenance of the national irrigation system being financed from
the “National Government Fund for Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Program”, which is
allocated to NIA. In addition to the Fund, the “Irrigation Service Fee (ISF)” is to be used as part of the
operation and maintenance for the existing irrigation facilities. However, the actual budget for Region
III allotted from the ISF in the recent five (5) years from 2004 to 2008 is in a range of 51.3 to 64.2
million pesos only, which could hardly make a substantial contribution to the allotment to the
necessary project cost.
Aside from the above budget of NIA, the following projects are to be financed from the national
budget of the Department of Agriculture and/or local government budge:
 The projects for development of the small scale irrigation system (the project codes of AI-G-08,
AIP-11 and AI-C-01): The investment cost for these projects is estimated at about 811 million
pesos, which is to be financed from the budget of DA-BSWM and the LGUs.
 The projects for inland fishery development (the project codes of AF-G-01 to 04): The
investment cost for these projects is estimated at 450 million pesos in total and to be financed
from the budget of DA-BFAR.

**: MWSS and private firms such as Manila Water Company Inc. (MWCI) and Maynilad Water Service Incorporated
(MWSI)
The project investment cost for the Object 4 and 7 shown in the above Table K.3.3.1 have been
secured by the public water service corporations such as MWSS and Clark Water as well the local
government of Cabanatuan City. Moreover, the project investment cost for the Objects 5 and 6 could
be allotted by the budget of the LGUs. Thus, the available financial sources for the project
investment of the Objectives-4 to 7 could be foreseeable. On the other hand, the budgeting process
of the project investment cost for the Objects 1 to 3 has to be newly clarified.
The project investment for the Objects 1 to 3 is subject to the “full cost recovery” both for the initial
construction cost and the annual O&M cost for the project facilities. That is, the WDs and/or the
public water service corporations such as MWSS and CDC as the project implementing bodies, would
secure the necessary initial construction cost of the facilities and recover the initial cost as well as the
annual O&M cost of the facilities by collecting the fee for use of the facilities from the water users.
In order to clarify the availability of the above “full cost recovery”, the project investment costs for the
above Objects 1 to 3 are converted to the unit costs per served water volume and compared with the
current prevailing water rates. The results of the conversion are as listed in Table K.3.3.2 and the
detailed clarification on the “full cost recovery “is as described in the under-mentioned items (1)
to (3):

 The annual interest rate is assumed at 10%。
***: The figure is estimated on the premises of the volume of water consumption for Level 3 water supply system
K-15
(1) Expansion of Level 3, 2, 1 Municipal Water supply System

As described in the under-mentioned item (1) in Section K.4.1, the “expansion of Level 3, 2
and 1 municipal water supply system toward 2025” is raised as one of the development
scenarios for improvement of water supply quality and securing of the necessary water supply
volume.
Expansion of the Level 1 water supply system is to be financed by the LGUs and it is not
subject to full cost recovery as described above. On the other hand, the necessary investment
cost for expansion of Level 3 and 2 water supply system is to be secured and recovered by the
WDs. That is, WDs would secure the initial investment cost by their own budget or loan
from LWUA, and recover it by collecting of the water service fee from the water users.
Out of 76 WDs in total in the study area, 13 WDs are expected to secure the necessary initial
investment cot by their own budgets judging from the classification of WDs by LWUA (refer
to subsection D.6.3.1). On the other hand, the remaining 63 WDs would need to have the loan
from LWUA to secure the initial investment cost.
As shown in Table K.3.3.2, the total initial investment cost is 11.1 billion pesos, and 6.1
billion pesos of it could be assumed as the necessary amount of the loan from LWUA to the
above 63 WDs. This amount of 6.1 billion pesos is disbursed for 15-year period from 2011
to 2015, and therefore, the annual average disbursement is estimated at 0.41billion pesos/year.
The future available annual loan by LWUA is estimated at about 4.8 billion pesos/year (refer
to subsection D.6.3.1). Judging from the available loan amount by LWUA, the above annual
average disbursement of 0.41million pesos/year is judged to be secured.
As shown in Table K.3.3.2, the unit cost for the initial investment and the O&M for expansion
of Level 3 and 2 municipal water supply systems is estimated at about 21pesos/m3. On the
other hand, the water rate for service of Level 3 and 2 municipal water supply systems is in a
range of 16 to 21 pesos/m3. Judging from the unit cost for project investment and the current
water rate for service, the project investment could be fully recovered by the water rate
without the large increment in the water rate.
(2) Construction/Provision of Septage Treatment and Disposal Facilities
As described in the under-mentioned item (2) in Section K.4.2, one of the development
scenarios is oriented to construction/provision of the septage treatment and disposal facilities,
which shall cover about 80% of the households in the urban area of the principal ten (10)
cities/municipalities by 2025. In this study, it is proposed that this project is to be
implemented by WDs, and its investment cost is to be fully recovered by the following
manners:
 As shown in Table K.3.3.2, the necessary project investment cost is estimated at
4.2pesos/m3 assuming the water consumption volume of the Level 3 water supply
system. In order to recover the said project investment cost, it is proposed that the
investment cost of 4.2 pesos/m3 shall be surcharged to the above water rate for the
service of Level 3 and 2 water supply service.
 The above surcharge cost is called “Environmental Fee” as suggested by in “the
business model for development of septage treatment and disposal facilities by WDs”
project and, MWSS has already applied it since 2008.
(3) Development of Bulk Water Supply System
As described in the under-mentioned item (2) in Section K.4.1, development of the bulk water
supply system is proposed for Bulacan Province, Pampanga Province and Metro Clark area in
particular. The project investment cost for development of the bulk water supply system is to
be recovered through the following manners:
K-16
 The public water service corporation such as MWSS as well as the relevant private
firms would be the implementing body for development of the bulk water supply
system. The initial investment cost for the development is estimated at 37.9 billion
pesos in total as shown in Table K.3.3.2. The budgetary capacities of these
implementing bodies would be able to secure the said necessary initial investment cost
judging from their previous business showings.
 As shown in Table K.3.3.2, the sum of the initial investment cost and the annual O&M
cost for development of the bulk water supply system could be equivalent to about
19pesos per unit m3 of water consumption. In addition, the cost of about 21pesos/m3
for expansion of Level 3 and 2 water supply system is required as a part of the bulk
water supply service. Accordingly, the investment cost of about 40peoso/m3 in total is
required for the service of the bulk water supply system.
 The service of the bulk water has been already introduced to Meycauayan WD and
Obando WDin Bulacan Province. The present water rate for those service areas of
the bulk water supply is around 42 pesos/m3, which is almost equal to the above
necessary investment cost (i.e., 40pesos/m3).
 As compared with the necessary investment cost with the present water rate for the
bulk water supply services, the investment cost could be fully recovered by the water
rate. The water rate of the bulk water service is far higher than the water rate of
municipal water service without the bulk water supply. The water users may accept
such high water rates, which would be because of the safe and stable water supply
promised by the bulk water supply system.
K.3.4 Project Investment Plan for Management of Flood and Sediment Disasters
The initial project investment cost in this sector is estimated at 15.8 billion pesos. Of this total initial
investment cost, about 70% or 10.9 billion pesos is to be financed from the national government
budget allocated to DPWH. The projects other than those by DPWH are: (a) operation, maintenance
and improvement of the small scale flood control and drainage systems, which are to be financed by
the LGUs and (b) development of the flood forecasting and warning systems, which is to be financed
by the budget of LGUs and PAGASA.

DPWH undertakes the following five (5) projects for management of flood and sediment disasters for
Pasac river system and Pampanga river system. Of these projects, the project of FL-G-02 is currently
in progress, and a substantial part for its necessary budget has been arranged already. Moreover, the
budgetary arrangement for the ongoing two (2) projects for Pasac river system (i.e., the projects of
FL-G-01 and FlL-G-02) have also been made, and the proposed projects for Pasac river system (i.e.,
L-P-01) is now being made on the premises of the foreign financial assistance. On the other hand,
the project for Pampanga river system (i.e., FL-C-01) is left behind since the Phase 1 of the project
had been suspended in 2002, and the budgetary arrangement of the project is being required.

The national government budget allotted to DPWH includes those for: (a) Programs (for the line
operations), (b) Projects (for implementation of the locally funded and foreign assisted projects and (c)
others (for interest payment, etc). The operation and maintenance of the flood control facilities
and/or the river channels is basically financed from the budget for above Programs for the line
operation. However, the national total budget financed from the Programs for O&M of the flood
control facilities/river channels was limited to 2.9 billion pesos in 2009. This budget is likely to be
quite inadequate and thereby, a part of the budget for the above Projects has to be used for O&M just
like the case of the project of FL-G-03.
K.3.5 Project Investment Plan for Watershed Management

The project investment cost of 3.6 billion pesos in total is to be disbursed during the 15-year period
from 2011 to 2025 as shown in Table K.3.5.1. Of the total investment cost, about 91% or 3.3 billion
pesos are financed from the national budget of DENR and used for reforestation, agro-forestry, and
hillside works in the upland and preservation of the forest.

land.
Object 2: .Preservation of forest in the watershed of the dam reservoir and urban greening
Out of the said total investment cost of 3.6 billion pesos, about 46.5% or 1.7 billion pesos is disbursed
to the ongoing projects and therefore, it could be secured provided that the present annual budgets
allotted to the projects are sustained until 2025. The remaining budget of 1.9billion pesos (53% of
the total investment cost) is for the conceptual project, and need to be secured from the new financial
sources, which may require the foreign financial assistance and/or the private investment through
BOT.
K.3.6 Project Investment Plan for Water-related Environment Management

The project investment cost of about 3.7 billion pesos in total is to be disbursed during the 15-year
period from 2011 to 2025 as shown in Table K.3.6.1. Out of the total investment cost, about 53% or
2.0 billion pesos is for construction and operation of solid waste management facilities for Nueva
Ecija, Bulacan and Pampanga Province, which is undertaken through the project of WQ-C-04. In
order to attain the said solid waste management, Nueva Ecija Province has already arranged the
necessary budget for construction of five (5) sanitary landfills and their support facilities. As for
Bulacan and Pampanga Province, however, the definite budgetary arrangement for the solid waste
management has not been made yet and it remains as the future task. In order to minimize the budget
for solid waste management for the two provinces, the proposed project works for the provinces are
limited to construction and O&M of the transfer stations assuming usage of the existing two (2)
sanitary landfills located in Tarlac and Bulacan Province.
K-18
The Clean Development Mechanism Program (CDM) projects would require the second largest
investment cost of about 1.0 billion pesos next to the above solid waste management. This investment
cost would be shouldered by the private firms through BOT leaded by DENR. Other project works
such as establishment of water quality monitoring system, capacity buildings and IEC relevant to the
water-related environment management would be financed by the national government budget allotted
to DENR, the budget of the LGUs and the private investments.

K.3.7 Project Investment Plan for Inter-Sector Water Resources Development, Allocation and
Distribution
The project investment cost of about 8.6 billion pesos in total is to be disbursed during the 15-year
period from 2011 to 2025 as shown in Table K.3.7.1. Out of the total investment cost, about 93% or
8.0 billion pesos is for the project for recovery of reliability of water supply capacity of the existing
Angat-Umiray System (Project of IS-C-02). The feasibility study for this project needs to be firstly
undertaken by NWRB to clarify the necessary project components, which would include the new
water resources development, and the organization setup for implementation of the project.
Moreover, it would be necessary to clarify the possible financial sources and their shares for allotment.
The possible financial sources would include the national government fund by NWRB, NIA, NPC, the
LGU’s fund by Bulacan Province, the corporation/private fund by MWSS and its relevant MWCI and
MWSI, and other private fund collected through BOT.

K.4 Development Scenarios

K.4.1 Development Scenarios for Group-A Projects
The target development scenarios for Group-A projects are proposed as described hereinafter.
K.4.1.1 Development Scenarios in Sector of Agriculture/Irrigation and Fishery
Development
In order to enhance the sector goals of “rehabilitation and development of the irrigation system” and
“sustainable fishery under integrated water resources management”, the following two (2)
development scenarios are proposed:
(1) Rehabilitation of Existing Irrigation Facilities
The development scenario is oriented to improvement of the agricultural productivities by
sustaining of the following seven (7) ongoing programs for rehabilitation and/or maintenance
of the existing irrigation facilities throughout the short, medium and long-term:
 AI-G-03: Repair, Rehabilitation of Existing Groundwater Irrigation Systems,
Establishment of Groundwater Pump Project ,
 AI-G-04: Balikatan Sagip Patubig Program,
 AI-G-05: Repair, Rehabilitation, Restoration & Preventive Maintenance of Existing
National & Communal Irrigation Facilities,
 AI-G-06: Restoration/Rehabilitation of Existing NIA Assisted Irrigation System,
 AI-G-08: Rehabilitation of Small Water Impounding Projects/Diversion Dams and
 AI-G-09: Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, Irrigation Component .
(2) Sustainable Fishery Production
The development scenario is oriented to sustainable fishery productivities by continuity of the
following four (4) ongoing projects, which are being undertaken by BFAR, DA or LGU,
throughout the short, medium and long-term:
 AF-G-01: Aquaculture Fisheries Development Programs,
 AF-G-02: Comprehensive Regulatory Services,
 AF-G-03: Support Projects and Activities and
 AF-G-04: Fisheries Resources Management for Improved and Sustainable Harvest.
K.4.1.2 Development Scenarios in Sector of Municipal Water Supply, Sanitation and
Sewerage
In order to achieve the sector goal of “improvement of water quality”, “ensuring of necessary water
supply capacity”, and “reduce of pollution load”, the seven (7) development scenarios are proposed in
the study. Moreover, in order to embody these development scenarios, implementation of 17 projects
is proposed. The details of these development scenarios and the projects to embody the development
scenarios are as described hereinafter:
(1) Short-term Development of Bulk Water Supply System for Bulacan Province
The groundwater in Bulacan Province is currently used as the principal source for municipal
water supply in the Province. However, the supply capacity by the groundwater is judged to
reach the critical level causing the land subsidence as well as the serious sanitary intrusion to
the groundwater. Hence, a development scenario on the “MW-P-03: Bulacan Treated Water
Supply Project”, which is most likely to use the surface water as the source, is proposed. This
K-20
bulk water supply system shall be completed by 2015 promising the water supply capacity of
2.7m3/s, which cover the municipal water demand of about one million residents.
(2) Strengthening of Water Supply Capacity of Angat Umiray System
The Angat-Umiray System is the principal water supply source for the municipal water use in
Metro Manila and the irrigation water use in AMRIS. However, the updated water demand
for the municipal and irrigation use exceed far over the water supply capacity of Angat
Umiray System. As the results, the serious water shortage occurs almost every two year.
Taking the potential water shortage into account, the development scenario is oriented to
strengthening of the water supply capacity of Angat Umiray System. In order to attain the
development scenario, the following three (3) projects are scheduled to urgently complete
within the short-term.
 MW-G-01: Angat Water Utilization and Aquaduct Improvement Project (AWUAIP)
Phase 2
 MW-P-01: Rehabilitation of Umiray-Macua Facilities and
 MW-P-02: Sumag River Diversion Project.
The above urgent reinforcement of the existing Angat-Umiray System would still hardly attain
the full supply level of the System for its present relevant water demand. Hence, The Project
of “IS-C-02: Project for Recovery of Reliability of Water Supply System in Angat-Umiray
System” is scheduled in the short-term and medium-term. The Project could drastically boost
up the reliability of the Angat Umiray System and promise the municipal water supply for
Metro Manila with a design safety level of 10-year return period and the irrigation water
supply for AMRIS with a design safety level of 5-year return period by 2020.
(3) Expansion of Level 3,2,1 Municipal Water Supply
The following development scenarios on the step-wise expansion of the Level 3 , 2 and 1
municipal water supply system in the study area is proposed in order to improve the water
supply quality and at the same time to ensure the necessary water supply capacity:
 The coverage of Level 3, 2, 1 water supply system with safe drinking water supply
shall reach 100% by 2025.
 The coverage ratios of the Level 3 Water Supply System in the urban area shall
increase 1% per annum by 2015, and the average ratio in the whole urban areas of the
study area shall reach 80% by 2025. At the same time, the lowest coverage ratio of
Level 3 System in the urban areas shall not be below 46.5%2 in 2025 so as to avoid the
extremely uneven distribution of the System.
 The present average coverage ratio of Level 3 Water Supply System in the rural area
shall be maintained until 2025, notwithstanding the future increment of population.
The target coverage ratio of Level 3 in the rural area is 18% in average for the whole
study area.
In order to attain the above development scenario, implementation of the following four (4)
projects throughout the period from 2011 up to 2025 is proposed:
 MW-C-1: Additional Level 3,2, 1 Facilities towards 2025 in Bulacan
 MW-C-2: Additional Level 3,2, 1 Facilities towards 2025 in Pampanga
 MW-C-3: Additional Level 3,2, 1 Facilities towards 2025 in Nueva Ecija
 MW-C-4: Additional Level 3,2, 1 Facilities towards 2025 in Tarlac)
2
The boundary of 46.5% for the lowest coverage ratio is derived from the future expected incremental rates of 17% for a
period of 17 years (from 2008 to 2025) added to half of the present average coverage ratio as of 2008 (= 29.5%).
K-21
(4) Construction/Provision of Sanitary Toilets

In order to reduce the pollution load in the study area, which could make an indirect
contribution to secure the safe drinking water from the source of the groundwater, the
following development scenario is proposed:
 The rate of construction/provision of the sanitary toilets in all municipalities and cities
shall increase at the rate of 10% per annum by 2015, and
 All households in the study area shall be provided with sanitary toilets by 20253.
In order to attain the development scenario, implementation of the following four (4) projects
is proposed:
 MS-C-1: Additional Sanitary Facilities towards 2025 in Bulacan,
 MS-C-2: Additional Sanitary Facilities towards 2025 in Pampanga,
 MS-C-3: Additional Sanitary Facilities towards 2025 in Nueva Ecija and
 MS-C-4: Additional Sanitary Facilities towards 2025 in Tarlac
(5) Development of Bulk Water Supply System for Metro Clark
In order to cope with the increment of the municipal water use in the Metro Clark, a
development scenario is oriented to gradual expansion of the bulk water supply system with a
full supply capacity of 0.8ｍ3/s toward 2025. In order to attain the development scenario,
“MW-P04; Metro Clark Bulk Surface Water Project” is proposed.
(6) Long Term Development of Bulk Water Supply System for Bulacan and Pampanga
Province
In order to serve the incremental provincial population and cope with deterioration of the
groundwater quality, proposed is the development scenario such that the bulk water supply
system with the supply capacity of 5.5m3/s for Bulacan and 1.3m3/s for Pampanga Province
shall be developed by 2025. The projects to embody the bulk water supply are as listed below:
 MW-C-05: Extended Bulacan Bulk Water Supply Project and
 MW-C-06: Pampanga Bulk Water Supply Project
K.4.1.3 Development Scenarios in Management of Flood and Sediment Disasters

(1) Sustainment of Regular Program for Maintenance and Rehabilitation of River Dike and
Slope
Most of the existing river dikes, levees, river slope protection and other river structures in
Pampanga and Pasac river basins are seriously deteriorated at present. In order to cope with
such degradation of the river structures as well as river channels, a development scenario is
oriented to sustainment of maintenance and rehabilitation of river dike and slope. The
development scenario shall be embodied through the proposed project of “FL-G-03:
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Works for River Dike and Slope”. The project had started in
2008 and it is proposed to continue the project as the yearly regular program toward 2025.
(2) Sustainment of Regular Program for Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Drainage and
Flood Control facilities
In order to cope with deterioration of the urban drainage facilities under jurisdiction of the
LGUs, the development scenario is proposed. In order to embody the development scenario,
3
The target year is set at 2025, because the main purpose of construction/provision of sanitary toilets is to secure the
access to safe drinking water for all by 2025, which is stated in the Philippine Water Sector Roadmap.
K-22
the project of “FL-C-03: Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Improvement for Drainage and
Flood Control facilities under jurisdiction of LGUs” shall be sustained as the yearly regular
program toward 2025.

Annex-T K 2.2.1 (1/3) Principal Objectives and Contents of Major Discussions in TWG Meetings,
Stakeholder Meeting and Joint SC and TWG Meeting in September and October 2010
TWG Meeting on Sep. 29, 2010

Objectives:
1. To discuss the proposed prioritization order of the projects and development scenario for IWRM of Pampanga River
Basin
2. To discuss the proposed IWRM institutional setup.
3. To discuss the interim results of preliminary Initial Environmental Evaluation (IEE) done for the projects
Contents of Major Discussions:
1. The TWG members shall have another meeting for their own validation on the prioritization of the different projects
that were identified.
The TWG Workshop for the validation of the prioritization of project components of the IWRM Plan is scheduled on
October 7, 2010 at Sulo Hotel from 9 – 4 pm.
2. The monitoring of water quality and the watershed environment shall not be integrated into one TWG in the
organizational structure of the RBC since water quality is with EMB and there is a possibility for either of the sectors to
be neglected.
The proposal of the Study Team was a separate TWG for each. However, it was decided to integrate them under one
TWG through FDG since the two sectors are coordinated and both are under the organization of DENR.
3. The Study Team proposed that DILG shall head the TWG for water supply, sanitation and sewerage in the proposed
organization setup of RBC. However, the TWG shall be headed by the LWUA or water districts (WDs) while the
sanitation and sewerage to be under the DENR-EMB.
The original idea of the Study Team was for the DOH to chair the TWG for monitoring sanitation and sewerage, while
it was modified to DILG in accordance with suggestion by FDG.
TWG Meeting on Oct. 07, 2010
Objectives:
1. To validate and/or improve the evaluation criteria for prioritization of projects as components of the IWRM Plan; and
2. To validate and/or improve the results of prioritization of projects made by the Study Team through Delphi technique
Improvement of Results of Project Evaluations and Prioritization of Projects:

1. The results of project evaluations and prioritization of projects made by the Study Team were revised by 13 TWG
Members who represent from NIA, NPC, BSWM, PHILVOLCS, DENR-RBCO, DPWH-FCSEC, PAGASA,
DILG-Region III, Tarlac Province, Bulacan Province, NEDA-Region III, MWSS, DENR-PAWB and NWRB.
1. The cost of P75M for the project “FL-C-02: Community Based Flood Early Warning System for Provinces of
Pampanga, Tarlac and N.E” is deemed to be too costly in comparison with the cost of the similar project completed in
Bulacan. Moreover, the Project shall be implemented earlier than its target implementation in 2016 proposed by the
Study Team.
2. The benefits by the above Project could be gained for a longer period of time if it can be implemented earlier.
Moreover, it is recommended to give the project more functionality by not limiting its use to flood alone but to utilize
the data that can be monitored for research development, infrastructure, etc.
3. It was informed that the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC) of Nueva Ecija is now considering the
proposal for the community-based flood early warning system which will be discussed with the Governor.
4. After the discussion, the participants replicated the evaluation done by Mr. Otogawa by project sets. Using the
Scoring Matrix, the participants revised the scores of the projects for each set, as they see fit. Revised scores were
placed in the blank above the scoring made by Mr. Otogawa. The new scores were incorporated and the total scores
were collated by the encoders for each project set. The scores for Project Sets 1, 2 and 3 were collated and integrated
by the Chief Encoder using geometric mean to arrive at the final scores.
KT-3
Stakeholder Meeting on Oct. 13, 2010
Objectives:
1. To present the methodologies for the formulation of the development scenarios, implementation program and
investment program of the water-related projects proposed as components of the IWRM Plan for Pampanga River Basin
by the JICA Study Team;
2. To discuss the approach and framework for the proposed institutional set-up plan for IWRM for Pampanga River Basin;
3. To present the web-page developed for the Pampanga River Basin Study; and
4. To review and validate the development scenarios, implementation program and investment program targeted for the
short-term, mid-term and long-term.
1. The Study Team shall come up with a review of the Medium Term Development Plan (MTDP) of each province
within the river basin. The particular consideration shall be given to the following three projects: (1) Cabo Holistic
Development Project; (2) Tabuating River Irrigation System and (3) Sierra Madre Watershed Development Program.
* The Study Team made an attempt to review the MTDP, but it was virtually difficult to take overview of the
MTDPs for the whole provinces in the study area. Due to the difficulty, the whole of the MTDP was not
incorporated and it was reflected only in the “FL-C-03: the Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Improvement for
Drainage and Flood Control Facilities under Jurisdiction of LGUs”. It is further noted that of the above three
projects to be given the particular consideration, the “Tabuating River Irrigation System “has been included as a
part of the proposed IWRM Plan (refer to AI-G-10: Upper Tabuating SRIP”), but other two projects were not
incorporated due to the invalid old information on them.
2. In accordance with comments given in the meeting, the following revisions were made for the Project of “MW-P-04:
Metro Clark Bulk Water Supply Project”.
 The name of Project was renamed from “Development of Water Supply System for Clark Special Economic Zone
(2020∼2025)
 The project implementation period is revised from 2020-2025 to 2011-2025.
 The objective area is expanded from the Clark New Frontier Area to the whole Metro Clark, which covers a part
of Tarlac and Pampanga Province.
 The classification of the Project is revised from the Group-B Project to Group-A Project.
3. In accordance with the comments given in the meeting, the target completion year of the Project of “MP-C-01:
Construction/ Provision of Septage Treatment and Disposal Facilities” was revised from 2020 to 2025.
4. In accordance with the comments, the development scenario on “Level 3 Water Supply System” was modified to the
development scenario on “Level 3, 2,1 Water Supply System”.
5. In accordance with the comments in the meeting, the following two projects were added as the components of the
IWRM Plan for Pampanga River Basin.
 FL-C-03 Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Improvement for Drainage and Flood Control Facilities under
Jurisdiction of LGUs
 FL-C-04 Integration of Salient Points of IWRM for Pampanga River Basin into School Curricula
6. In accordance with the comments in the meeting, the following two projects were transferred from Group-B to
Group-A:
 WQ-P-01: Clean Development Mechanism Projects
 WQ-C-04: Construction of Sanitary Landfills and Support facilities in Nueva Ecija and Cluster Water Transfer
Stations in Bulacan
KT-4
Joint SC and TWG Meeting on
Objectives:
1. To present the revised prioritization order of the projects and development scenarios as well as the revised institutional
setup plan for IWRM of the Pampanga River Basin.
.
1. There shall be a footnote that states that the proposed grouping of the projects into Group A & B is not fixed but the
projects can be transferred from one grouping to the other depending on the future situation and necessity for the project
2. The Chairperson for the TWG on Water Supply, Sanitation and Sewerage in the organization setup for RBC should be
DILG and DOH instead of DILG and LWUA.
3. E.O. to be drafted should include a provision that will direct National Government Agencies to initially allocate
contributions to the operation of the RBC from their respective offices and eventual allocation of specific funds from
the national government for its operation.
4. The long-term option of legislative action to institutionalize creation of RBOs/RBCs in the country should be included.
5. Issues/conflicts on arbitration and monitoring of water rights shall be resolved first at the RBC level and only
unresolved issues shall be elevated to NWRB. In this regard, the arbitration shall be subject to the guidelines or
agreement that will be developed between RBC and NWRB.

Sector L: Legal and Institutional Framework
Sector L. Legal and Institutional Framework
L.1 Present Institutional-Setup for Water Resources Management

L.1.1 Present Legal Framework
L .1.1.1 Background of National and Regional Administration
The administration of the Philippines is divided in three levels of governance: namely, national,
regional and local governments. The nation has been divided into 17 administrative Regions based on
their geographical locations: namely, Regions I to XII, NCR, CAR, ARMM, CARAGA and
Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. NCR covers Metro Manila.
The local governments are classified into three hierarchies; namely, province, city/municipality and
barangay. Province is composed of city, municipalities and barangays. Provinces, city, municipalities
and barangays have respective council (Sanggunian) for their own legislation. Region is the national
administrative division for regional administration and coordination among multiple provinces.
The Local Government Code (LGC) enacted in 1991 essentially re-defined the role, relationship and
linkages of national, provincial, city/municipal and barangay institutions in provisions of basic
services, infrastructures and utilities. The new direction mandated the Local Government Units
(LGUs) to play a larger role in planning and implementing local infrastructures and utilities in
particular water supply and sanitation. This raised significant institutional capacity and resource
allocation issues.
The LGUs are subdivided into 81 provinces, 136 cities, 1,495 municipalities and 42,008 barangays as
of December 31, 2008. The LGUs are grouped into seventeen (17) regions. The Department of Interia
and loca Government (DILG) exercises general supervision in the provinces and cities of 16 regions.
The Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao is not part of the general supervision function of DILG.
The main national government agencies establish respective regional and provincial offices for
regulating own responsible sector among provinces and municipalities, allocation of national budget,
implementation of national projects, etc.
L .1.1.2 Hierarchy of Law
The hierarchy of the laws enacted by the National Government of the Philippines is shown in
Table L.1.1.1 (5.1.1). The Constitution and the Republic Act (RA) are enacted by the Congress while
the Executive Order (EO) is promulgated by the President. The Presidential Decree (PD) was
promulgated by the President during the martial law period, 1972-1986. The Administrative Order
(AO) and the memorandum circular (MC) are issued by the secretary of a department and the head of
agencies or offices respectively.
Provincial ordinance is enacted by the provincial council, while provincial governors, municipal and
city mayors have authority to issues local administrative order.
The executive order, administrative order, memorandum circular and local administrative orders could
be cancelled if the national or local administration changed. Legislative actions of Congress
predominate over the executive actions or decision of the Office of the President. The government
administrators and managers in the Philippines tend to consider that the institution and organizations
established by laws (Republic Act and Presidential Decree) are sustainable, but those established by
Executive Orders and Administrative Orders are tentative and tend to be abolished or not functioning
after change of the administration.

L .1.1.3 National Policies and Laws

Transformation of the national policies for water supply, water resources management,
decentralization, privatization, environmental protection and rationalization, and corresponding main
laws and orders in the water resources sector from 1970s are summarized in Annex-T L.1.1.1.
(1) Water Supply and Water Resources Management Policy
The main three legislations defining the institutional setup of the water supply sector were
enacted in 1970s. Those are Republic Act No. 6234-1971 created Metropolitan Waterworks
and Sewerage System (MWSS) for water supply in Metro Manila, Provincial Water Utilities
Act-1973 authorized formation of local water districts in provincial centers outside Metro
Manila, and the Water Code of the Philippines-1976 established the framework for water
resources management. The Public Service Law, Presidential Decree No. 1206-1977
mandated National Water Resources Board (NWRB) to supervise water utilities including the
regulation of water tariff except those under MWSS and Local Water Utility Administration
(LWUA).
(2) Decentralization Policy
The Local Government Code-1991 transferred responsibility for public services to local
governments in their areas. Local governments at all levels (provinces, city/municipalities and
barangays) were made responsible for basic service delivery. Pursuant to this Code the LGUs
shall endeavor to be self-reliant and shall continue exercising the power and discharging the
duties and functions currently vested upon them.
L-2
(3) Privatization Policy of Infrastructures

Privatization of infrastructure was initiated for electric-power projects by the first legal
framework, Executive Order No. 215-1987. The former BOT Law, RA No. 6959-1990 sought
to enable the framework for private sector participation in infrastructure development
including water supply. The Republic Act No. 7718-1994 (present BOT Law) amended RA
No. 6959-1990 more flexible to implement roads, airports, water, information technology, etc.
allowing nine type of scheme.
National Water Crisis Act-1995 provided the government with special powers to recognize
sector agencies and pursue private sector participation. This act facilitated the privatization of
water supply and sanitation in Metro Manila.
(4) Environmental Policy
Presidential Decree 1152-1977, the Philippine Environmental Code established the standards
for air and water quality, and guidelines for land use management, natural resources,
groundwater, and waste management. The Philippines Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
System was established by Presidential Decree No. 1586-1979. The Philippine Clean Water
Act-2004 defines the policies for pursuing economic growth within the framework of
sustainable development in the aspect of water quality management of all water bodies. The
Department of Environment and Natural Resource (DENR) is responsible for the execution of
these laws.
(5) Rationalization Policy of Governments
Rationalization of government agencies stem from the Public Service Law, PD No.1206-1977.
The Administrative Code-1987 vested the President with residual powers to reorganize the
Executive Branches of the governments. NWRB has been being restructured through
Executive Order No. 123-2002, and been entrusted with responsibility for regulation of water
service providers in water districts. Executive Order No. 366-2004 directed all department
secretaries to conduct strategic review of the operations of the executive branches.
Implementation of EO 123 has not yet finalized. Executive Order No. 279-2004 outlined
substantial reforms in the financing of the water supply sector, particularly with regard to the
role of LWUA on providing finance to water districts, by pursuing more actively water
districts and other water providers to the private capital market.
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has approved the Rationalization Plan of
seven government agencies. The seven agencies include the Office of President, the Office of
the Vice President, the Department and Labor and Employment, DBM, Department of Science
and Technology, Department of Tourism, and the Civil Service Commission. Applications of
the rest of agencies are still pending at DBM for approval as of June 2009.
Since 1995 successive governments have pursued their policy objectives through executive
orders issued by the president rather than laws passed by the Congress.
L .1.1.4 Legal Frameworks for Policy, Planning, Approval, Implementation, and Monitoring
of Water-related Projects
(1) Background
Mandate and responsibility of National Governments and sectoral agencies are governed by
laws and regulations in the Philippines, but authority and responsibility for sector
policymaking, planning, regulation, implementation and monitoring of projects are severely
fragmented, spread across different government tiers and various national government
agencies1). Fragmentation might be partly induced by the three policies of privatization,
decentralization and rationalization.
(2) NEDA as the Highest Social and Development Planning and Policy Coordination Body
The National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) is the country’s highest social and
development planning and policy coordination body. In performance of its function, the
L-3
NEDA Board is assisted by five Cabinet-level agency committees: namely, Development

Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC), Infrastructure Committee (INFRACOM),
Investment Coordination Committee (ICC), Social Development Committee (SDC), and
Committee on Tariff and Related Matters (CTRM). The NEDA Secretariat serves as the
technical secretariat to all these committees, except for the DBCC, which is served by the
DBM.
The NEDA defines the institutional roles and responsibilities of sector agencies; sets broad
coverage targets for the country; and defines broad policies, particularly regarding access of
low-income groups to service, cost recovery to sustainability, incentive to improve operational
efficiency, and mechanism for private sector improvement. Allocation of the national funds is
determined by Department of Budget and Management (DBM). The Department of Finance
(DOF), for its part, sets and implements policies on the use of grants and guarantees from the
national government and official development assistance (ODA). The projects of which
budget exceed Peso 500 millions are subject to review and approval by NEDA.
(3) National Sector Policies, Planning and Implementation, and Local Government
Key national government agencies are responsible for sector policy, planning, implementing
and monitoring of national projects, and regulatory function specific to their jurisdiction. Each
department issues Department Order for authorities of officials of respective department for
planning, approval, implementation and monitoring of projects under its responsible sector.
Local Governments at all administrative levels retain de facto responsibilities of public
utilities including water supply and sanitation for policy, planning, and regulatory functions
specific to their jurisdictions, through respective Local Government Unit (LGU). This
includes choosing financing and management options, deciding on tariffs, providing
investment and funding support, and setting performance standards.
The Regional Development Council (RDC) regulates and approves inter-provincial and
government loan projects. The NEDA requires endorsement for implementation from the
concerned all provinces for the RDC’s approval. The secretariat of RDC is NEDA.
(4) Allocation of Sector Roles between National Government and Local Governments
The present Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the national and local governments
were prepared reflecting the new sector role of the LGUs based on Local Government
Code-1991 (LGC-1991). The basic services and facilities vested in the LGUs are listed for
Barangay, Municipality, Province and City respectively in SEC.17, CHAPTER I of the
LGC-1991.
(a) Basic Services and Facilities Vested in LGUs
Those basic services and facilities in water-related sector include, but not limited to, the
following:
For a Barangay -Services and facilities related to general hygiene and sanitation, and
maintenance of water supply systems;
For a Municipality -Extension and on-site research and facilities related to agriculture
and fishery activities, inter-barangay irrigation systems, water and soil resources
utilization and conservation projects, and enforcement of fishery laws in municipal
waters including conservation of mangroves; Implementation of community-based
forestry projects including integrated social forestry programs subject to supervision,
control and review of DENR, and management and control of communal forests;
Services and facilities related to general hygiene and sanitation; and Communal
irrigation, small water impounding projects, artesian wells, spring development, rain
water collections and water supply systems, sea walls, dikes, drainage and sewerage,
and flood control;
For a Province -Assistance in organization of farmers and fisherman’s cooperatives and
L-4
other collective organizations, and transfer of appropriate technology; and

Inter-municipal water-works, drainage and sewerage, flood control, irrigation systems
and reclamation projects; and
For a City -All the services and facilities of the municipalities and provinces.
(b) Public Works and Infrastructures Vested in National Government
National agencies or offices concerned should have devolved to LGUs the responsibility
for the provision of basic services and facilities enumerated in SEC.17 of LGC.
Regional offices of national agencies or offices whose functions were devolved to LGUs
should also have been phased out. However, sector projects have been still led generally
by national agencies in coordination with LGUs due to limitation of funds and resources
of LGUs.
Notwithstanding the provision of subsection (b) of SEC.17 of LGC the public works and
infrastructure projects and other facilities, programs and services funded by the National
Government Appropriation Act, other special laws, pertinent executive orders, and those
wholly or partially funded from foreign sources, are not covered under SEC.17, except
in those cases where the LGU concerned is dully designated as the implementing
agency for such projects, facilities, programs, and services.
L.1.2 Present Institutional-Setup
L .1.2.1 National Government Agencies
The key national government agencies involved in the water resources management are Office of the
President (OP), the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), National Water Resources
Board (NWRB), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Agriculture
(DA), Department of Energy (DE), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR),
Department of Finance (DOF), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), and
Department of Health (DOH). The mandates of the key government agencies in water resources
management are summarized in Annex-T L.1.2.1.
The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) and National Commission on Indigenous People
(NCIP), Metropolitan Water Works and Sewerage System (MWSS), National Irrigation Administration
(NIA), National Power Corporation (NPCOR/NPC), Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), and
Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) are regulatory and/or implementation agencies under
OP, DPWH, DA, DE, DENR and DOH respectively.
The mandates of these national agencies and line and staff bureaus are mutually correlated. The
functional chart of the water-related national agencies over 30 in the Philippines is illustrated in
Annex-F L.1.2.1. The functional relationship with the local governments is presented in subsection
L.1.2.2 of this report. Detailed functions of these agencies with respective responsible sector are
presented in subsection L.1.2.3. The mandate and organization structure of NWRB are presented in
subsection L.1.3.2 (1) and subsection L.1.3.5 (1) respectively.
L .1.2.2 Functional Relationship among National and Local Governments
Part of the roles and authorities of the national government agencies were transferred to the local
governments based on LGC-1991(refer to subsection L.1.1.4 (4)). Under decentralization and
rationalization policies, the present institutional arrangements for the functional relationships among
the national government agencies and local governments are still in transition. The roles of the
national government and local governments have not been unified, and those vary depending on the
sector policy and prevailing conditions. Annex-F L.1.2.2 illustrates the present functional relationships
among the water related national government agencies and local governments. The illustrated relation
is still progressive as of June 2009, and it is subject to clarification among the agencies concerned.

L .1.2.3 Institutional Structure by Sector

This section deals with further allocation of the responsibility and authority of the national government
agencies and the local governments focusing on the key water-related sectors and subjects (refer to
Annex-F L.1.2.2).
(1) Water Supply and Sanitation
The delineated roles and responsibilities of the key agencies of water supply sector are
summarized in Annex-T L.1.2.2. Annex-T L.1.2.3 illustrates the institutional structure of
domestic and municipal water supply and sanitation among national government agencies and
local governments.
The NWRB, Metropolitan Water Works and Sewerage System (MWSS), Local Water Utilities
Administration (LWUA) and LGUs are regulatory agencies for water supply. The NWRB
regulates water service providers including some LGU managed water utilities in terms of
water supply tariff and coverage and services. The water supply and sanitation services to
cities and municipalities of Metro Manila are regulated by MWSS. The services are currently
provided by two private concessionaires, Manila Water Company, Inc. (MWCI) and Maynilad
Water Services, Inc. (MWSI).
NEDA Resolution No.4 (series of 1994) allows LGUs to implement all levels of water supply
projects and redefines the role of other sector agencies.
The LWUA regulates urban water supply except the Metro Manila. The Department of
Interior and Local Government (DILG) regulates and implements rural water supply. The
LWUA and the Water Supply and Sanitation Project Management Office (WSSPMO) of DILG,
through their respective funding activities, define and enforce specific quality and
performance standards of service for water districts and LGU-managed systems, respectively.
They also assist water and sanitation service providers through capacity building and technical
assistance.
Services by LWUA initially implemented the Level III water supply projects which were
financially viable. LWUA’s support, in particular, extends beyond technical assistance to
actual improvement in execution of individual water district projects and governance of Water
Districts.
The WSSPMO plays a critical role in the rural water supply sector due to their area
management role in local territories. It participates in general administration and institutional
building, such as assistance to LGUs in the formation of rural and/or barangay water works
and sanitation associations and identification of water supply systems.
The DPWH, together with DILG and DOH provided initially technical assistance to LGUs in
planning, implementation and operation and maintenance of water supply facilities limiting to
the period of two years.
Under the 2004-2010 Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP), the National
Anti-Poverty Commission Water Supply Coordination Office (NAPC-WASCO) was created
as the national coordinating unit for the implementation of the President’s Priority Program of
Water (P3W). This program gives special attention to “waterless” LGUs nationwide.
NEDA resolution No.5 reaffirms the principle of provision of sewerage and sanitation services
on the basis of willingness-to-pay. The resolution mandates the establishment of a Central
project Support Office (CPSO) at LWUA to assist LGUs in the formulation, preparation and
implementation of sewerage and sanitation projects.
EO 279 (February 2004) instituted reforms in the financing policies for the water supply and
sewage sector and water service providers; rationalizing the LWUA’s organizational structure
and transferring it to the office of the President. EO 387 (November 2004) transferred LWUA
from the office of the president to DPWH. EO 421 (April 2005) refocused LWUA’s functions
L-6
and organizational structures as envisaged in EO 279. EO 738 (July 2008) transferred LWUA
from DPWH to DOH.
(2) Irrigation
There are three types of irrigation systems in the Philippines; national, communal and private.
Under the jurisdiction of Department of Agriculture (DA), the functions of National Irrigation
Administration (NIA), created initially by RA 3601-1963, were broadened under Presidential
Decree Nos. 552-1974 and 1702-1980, both amendments to RA-3601. NIA undertakes
program- oriented and comprehensive water resources projects for irrigation purposes as well
as concomitant activities such as flood control, drainage, land reclamation, hydropower
development, watershed management, etc. except private irrigation systems. Communal
irrigation systems were devolved to LGUs based on Irrigation Management Transfer (IMT)
started in 2009 and the LGC-1991. Private irrigation systems are composed of plantations
operated by companies and small private irrigation systems.
In irrigation sector NIA plays a main role of implementation, operation and maintenance of
the nation’s irrigation systems in collaboration with local governments except private
irrigation systems. The IMT is planned to be completed in 5 years under the NIA’s
rationalization plan approved in 2008. The National Irrigation System Offices (NISOs) and
the Provincial Irrigation Offices (PIOs) have been merged within a province or a cluster of 2-4
provinces as the Irrigation Management Offices (IMOs) in order to strengthen financial
viability of National Irrigation Systems (NISs). IMOs are managed by Regional Irrigation
Offices (RIOs) under NIA.
NIA issued several manuals for design, operation and maintenance: for example, Design
Manual for Diversion Dams (1987 under process) , Design Manual for Canals and Canal
Structures (under process), General Operation & Maintenance Manual (Final Report January
1991).
(3) Flood Control
Flood control requires a river basin approach participated with multiple government agencies.
Annex-T L.1.2.4 illustrates the institutional structure of national government agencies in flood
control. The DPWH has played a main role in flood control and oversees its national and
regional projects.
The projects under DPWH have been executed at present based on Department Order No. 24,
Series of 2007, Amended Omnibus Levels of Authorities of Officials of DPWH. The levels of
authorities delegated are 11 groups based on the DPWH project cycle and functions and
services of other offices. Those levels are planning, environment and social aspects, design,
land acquisition and infrastructure right-of-way, procurement, contract management,
infrastructure maintenance, quality control, human resources, financial resources, and
equipment and property (other than real estate).
PMO-Major Flood Control Projects (PMO-MFCP) manages the planning, design,
construction, and operation and maintenance of major flood control projects of the nation.
PMO-MFCP transfers the role of operation and maintenance of river and flood control
facilities of selected river basins to Regional Offices of DPWH such as the Agno-PMO Flood
Control Office after construction. Some provincial governments contribute to a part of
operation and maintenance based on the memorandum between DPWH and the LGU
concerned by arrangement of NEDA depending on the prevailing local conditions.
The Flood Control and Sabo Engineering Center (FCSEC) under DPWH takes charge of
planning of flood control and sabo works.
DPWH issued a series of technical guidelines and standards: for example, Design Guidelines,
Criteria and Standards for Public Works and Highways in 4 volumes (1987 called Red Book),
DPWH Standard Specifications for Public Works Structures (1995), Technical Standards and
Guidelines for Planning and Design (draft March 2002), Manual on Construction Supervision
L-7
of Flood Control Project (December 2004), Manual on Maintenance of Flood Control and
Drainage Structures (April 2005). Upgrading of the Red Book is in process.
(4) Watershed Management
Pursuant to Executive Order No. 192 (10 June 2007), the DENR is the primary government
agency responsible for the conservation, management, development and proper use of the
environment and natural resources, including forests and watershed areas. The Forest
Management Bureau (FMB) under DENR formulates and recommends policies and/or
programs for the effective protection, development, occupancy, management and conservation
of forest lands and watershed.
Annex-T 1.2.5 illustrates the regulatory functions and corresponding responsible national
government agencies and LGUs in watershed and forest management. NIA, NPC, PNOC (the
Philippine National Oil Company) MWSS and the WDs are guided by DENR policies and
collaborate with the latter to protect and preserve the watershed areas in their respective areas
of responsibility. There are inter-agency agreements by and among them to combine their
efforts and resources in maintaining and promoting environmentally sound watershed areas.
Community involvement is also encouraged by enlisting people participation in undertakings
and development projects on watershed areas, and safeguarding them.
On the other hand, the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) under the
Department of Agriculture (DA) remains responsible for the assessment, development and
preservation of existing and potential soil and water resources for agriculture.
The LGUs also can perform watershed management functions but are subject to supervision
and control of DENR based on the Local Government Code. Province and municipalities
implement the community-based forest management, social forestry, and watershed project,
with discretion of LGU executives.
(5) Water Quality
The Clean Water Act (CWA), RA No. 9275-2004 enacts comprehensive water quality
management in all water bodies and in the control and abatement of pollution from the
land-based sources. The water quality standards and regulations are being enforced
irrespective of sources of pollution. The act provides, among others, that DENR in
coordination with NWRB shall designate certain areas as water quality management areas
using appropriate physiographic units such as watersheds, river basins or water resources
regions. The implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of CWA-2004 was promulgated
pursuant to Section 32 of CWA-2004 and EO 192-1987, DENR Charter.
(6) Large Dam
Most of the large dams were planned and constructed by NPC and NIA. However, no unified
nationwide planning and design standard for dam and its appurtenant structures were
established yet. NPC customarily applied the USBR standards and manuals to dams.
L .1.2.4 Institutional Framework for the Study Area
There are no specific institutional and legal arrangements in the study area with respect to
water-related sector planning and implementation, and IWRM. The legal framework for policy,
planning, approval, implementation of water-related projects, and the regulatory framework of water
resources management are basically same as those applied nationwide except those transferred to the
provincial, city, municipal and barangay governments based on the LGC-1991. The power and
attributes of local government, inter-government relationship, local legislation, organization structure
and staffing, local taxation and fiscal matters, local fiscal administration including budgeting, and
share of local government units in the national wealth are enumerated in the LGC. The local
governments have not initiated yet further specific and/or own arrangements for the management of
water related sector.
L-8
Annex-F L.1.2.3 shows the organization chart of the Government of Province of Pampanga as a
typical organization chart in the study area. The organization under Provincial Governor is composed
of the provincial treasurer office, the provincial engineer’s office, the provincial planning and
development office (PPDO), the provincial budget office, the provincial agriculturist office, the
provincial assessor’s office, the integrated provincial health office, the provincial library and
information office, and the provincial jail. This organizational structure is basically same as those in
other provinces.
The PPDO takes charge of planning of provincial strategic development plan.
L.1.3 Present Framework of Water Resources Management
L .1.3.1 The Constitution and Water Code
(1) The Constitution
The national policy on water, as a natural resource, is enshrined in Section 2, Article XII of
the Philippine Constitution-1987 which, as pertinent, wits:
"All lands of the public domain, waters, minerals, coal, petroleum and other mineral
oils, all forces of potential energy, fisheries, forests or timber, wildlife, flora and fauna,
and other natural resources are owned by the State. The exploration, development, and
utilization of natural resources shall be under the full control and supervision of the
State. In cases of water rights for irrigation, water supply, fisheries, or industrial uses
other than the development of water power, beneficial use may be the measure and
limit of the grant."
(2) The Water Code
(a) Objective
The Water Code of the Philippines (Presidential Decree No. 1067-1976) is the basic
water law of the Philippines. It is anchored on the principle that all waters belong to the
State. Proceeding from this premise, these waters are not subject to acquisitive
prescription. The State may allow the use or development of water by administrative
concession, but the utilization, development, conservation and protection of water
resources shall remain within the control of and regulation by government.
In synthesis, the objectives of the Water Code are to:
 Establish the basic principles and structural framework relating to the
appropriation, control, conservation and protection of water resources to achieve
their optimum development and efficient use, to meet present and future needs;
 Define the scope of the rights and obligations of water users and provide for the
protection and regulation of such rights;
 Institute a basic law to govern the ownership, appropriation, utilization,
exploitation, development, conservation and protection of water resources and
rights to land related thereto; and
 Identify the administrative agencies which will enforce the Code.
(b) Definition and state ownership of water
"Water" is expansively defined by the Code. Thus, Article 4 thereof declares that
"Waters, as used in this Code, refers to water under the ground, water above the ground,
water in the atmosphere and the waters of the sea within the territorial jurisdiction of the
Philippines." This definition practically captures the entire segment and categories of
water resources in their natural state or from the perspective of their source. This
fundamental policy was enunciated in the Philippine Constitution, incorporated in the
Civil Code (see succeeding section), and now reiterated in the Water Code. Other
provisions of the Water Code categorically reinforce this stand as can be seen from the
L-9
provisions of Articles 5 and 6 of the Water Code.

Article 5. The following belong to the State:
 Rivers and their natural beds;
 Continuous or intermittent waters of springs and brooks running in their natural
beds and the beds themselves;
 Natural lakes and lagoons;
 All other categories of surface waters such as water flowing over lands, water
from rainfall whether natural or artificial and water from agricultural runoff,
seepage and drainage;
 Atmospheric water;
 Subterranean or ground water; and
 Seawater
Article 6. The following waters found on private lands also belong to the State:
 Continuous or intermittent waters rising on such (private) lands;
 Lakes and lagoons naturally occurring on such lands;
 Rain water falling on such lands;
 Subterranean or ground waters; and
 Waters in swamps and marshes.
The owner of the land where the water is found may use the same for domestic purposes
without securing a permit, provided that such use shall be registered, when required by
NWRB. NWRB, however, may regulate such use when there is wastage or in times of
emergency.
(c) Separation of water from land
The provisions of Article 6 of the Water Code are a departure from the stipulations of
the Civil Code on water. Before their repeal by the Water Code, certain provisions of the
Civil Code, particularly those on ownership of waters (Section 503) recognized private
ownership of certain categories of water (i.e., continuous or intermittent waters rising on
lands of private ownership; lakes and lagoons, and their beds, formed by Nature on such
lands; subterranean waters found on the same; etc.). These laws on the ownership of
waters found in private lands are now expressly abrogated by Article 6 of the Water
Code. Other instances of repeal of Civil Code provisions by the Water Code are treated,
in passing, in succeeding sections.
(d) Appropriation
The appropriation of water which is the acquisition of rights over the use of water or the
taking or diverting of waters from a natural source, is governed by the Water Code.
Provided such use or taking or diversion is accomplished in a legal manner and for a
lawful purpose, the Code allows appropriation of water for any of the following
purposes:
 Domestic - the utilization of water for drinking, washing, bathing, cooking or
other household needs, home gardens, and watering of lawns or domestic animals;
 Municipal - the utilization of water for supplying the water requirements of the
community;
 Irrigation - the utilization of water for producing agricultural crops;
L-10
 Power generation - the utilization of water for producing electrical or mechanical

power;
 Fisheries - the utilization of water for the propagation and culture of fish as a
commercial enterprise;
 Livestock raising - the utilization of water for large herds or locks of animals
raised as a commercial enterprise;
 Industrial - the utilization of water in factories, industrial plants and mines,
including the use of water as an ingredient of a finished product;
 Recreational - the utilization of water for swimming pools, bath house, boating,
water skiing, golf courses and other similar facilities in resorts and other places of
recreation. (Art. 10, Water Code)
(e) Water rights and permit
Under the Water Code, no person shall appropriate water without a water right. A water
right is acquired with the issuance of a water permit which is the evidence of the water
right granted. The following may apply for a water permit:
 Citizens of the Philippines who are of legal age;
 Associations, duly registered cooperatives or corporations organized under the
laws of the Philippines, at least 60% of the capital of which is owned by citizens
of the Philippines; and
 Government entities and instrumentalities including government-owned or
controlled corporations.
 The measure and limit of appropriation of water is its beneficial use. Beneficial
use as defined in the Code is the utilization of water in the right amount during the
period that water is needed for producing the benefits for which the water is
appropriated. Standards of beneficial use are prescribed by NWRB to the
appropriators of water for different purposes and conditions.
(f) Revision
The National Water Resources Board (NWRB; former NWRC) promulgated the
Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR-1979) of the Water Codes (PD No.
1067-1976) as a guideline. Revision of the IRR-1979 in accordance with EO 123-2002
was approved and implemented in 2005.
The revision of the Water Code -1976 has been initiated for the meetings with the head
of offices and stakeholders. The progress and the content of the draft have not been
disclosed yet to the public.
L .1.3.2 Regulation of Water Resources Allocation
(1) NWRB as Apex Regulatory Body
The overall responsibility for coordination of water resources development and management
is vested in the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) which was initially created as
National Water Resources Council (NWRC) by Presidential Decree No. 424-1974. Its basic
mandate is to administer and enforce the Water Code. NWRC was converted to NWRB by
Executive Order No. 124-A-1987.
The jurisdictional powers, functions and duties of NWRB include: (a) to formulate policies
and guidelines on water resources development and management; (b) to effect cross-sectoral
and inter-departmental coordination of water resources development activities; (c) to grant or
issue water permits and certificates of public convenience/and necessity; (d) to advise NEDA
L-11
on matters relating to water resources development plans, programs and projects, and (e) to
exercise jurisdiction over disputes concerning water allocation and utilization.
The NWRB is a manifestly a collegial and quasi-judicial body. Its governing board is
composed of five cabinet departments (DENR, NEDA, DOF, DOJ, DOH) and a water agency,
NHRC. Three cabinet departments, DPWH, DA and DTI involved in water users and four
water agencies, LWUA, MWSS, NIA, NPC were excluded from the board members after
Executive Order No. 123-2002. The Chairman of the board is the Secretary of DENR at
present.
(2) Water Permit Procedure
NWRB’s procedure for processing and approval of water permit application is illustrated in
Annex-F L.1.3.1. Procedure Item No.9 Technical Appraisal and Clearance from other agencies
are done by deputized agencies in practice: for example, NIA for agriculture and fisheries,
NPC for hydropower, LGUs and MWSS for municipal water. Issue of permit to drill for
groundwater (Procedure Items No. 11-13) requires much manpower in urban and rural areas.
Procedure No. 6 Hearing Adjudication/Decision and Procedure No. 14 Technical Evaluation
also require much manpower of the Board.
The NWMB has a plan to empower deputizing any official or agency of the government to
perform any of its specific functions or activities in order to resolve its chronic shortage of
manpower. In particular it was sought to achieve the regular submission of an accomplishment
report to monitor performance related to water permits in remote areas from the office of
NWRB in Manila. Memorandum of Agreement were signed in 2004 between NWRB and
the three municipalities based on Resolution No.008-1003, Deputizing the Three
Municipalities of Sta. Fe, Bantayan and Madridejos in Batanyan Island, Cebu, October 23,
2003. The task of the deputy stipulated in the agreement covers:
 Receive water permit application (WPA);
 Verify details on application and compliance with requirements;
 Receive filing fees;
 Ensure the postings of WPAs at designated posting areas;
 Conduct field investigations/site inspections;
 Submit recommendations on the WPA to the Board;
 Deliver Permit to Drill (PTD) to applicant issued by the Board;
 Receive well data after the well has been drilled;
 Verify that water permittees comply with the conditions imposed in the water permit;
 Monitor drilling of wells and other water resources development activities in the area
consistent with the positions of the Water Code of the Philippines;
 Collect well data;
 Perform such other similar functions relative to the processing of WPAs.
(3) Levy Related to Water Permits
(a) Fees and Charges
The NWRB is responsible to collect the levy (water fees and charges) related to the
water permit as stipulated in the Water code.
Pursuant to Executive Order No. 1973 series of 2000 and per NWRB Resolution No.
010-0305 dated 21 March 2005, NWRB on its 29th Meeting approved the
application/filing fees and annual water charges as shown in Annex-T L.1.3.1.
L-12
(b) Responsibility of Concessionaires

The National Power Corporation (NPC) was exempted from the annual water charge
(item B) due to its non-profit character based on Presidential Decree No. 938 (May
1976)2). However, after issue of the NWRB Resolution-1998 all the parties granted
water permit (concession) must pay the annual water charges regardless of private or
public entity. The NPC still does not pay in spite of the opinion of Department of Justice
(DOJ) that NPC must pay. National Irrigation Authority (NIA) also had not paid the
annual water charges without legal exemption though the charge to irrigation use is less
than a half of other uses. The filling fee can be exempted.
Irrigators associations who rely on the irrigation system of NIA are responsible to pay
the irrigation service fee (ISF) to NIA. NIA is responsible to pay the annual water
charges for the system’s granted water permit (concession).
Irrigators who operate own irrigation systems are also responsible to pay the annual
water charges for their granted water permit.
(c) Collection Rate of Annual Water Charges
The water utility division of NWRB sends the annual water charge bills to the
concessionaries. The Chares paid to NWRB are remitted to Bureau of Treasury under
Department of Finance (DOF), and those are treated as the national funds. Manila Water
Company Inc. and Manilad Water Service Inc. of MWSS paid the annual water charges
in 2007.
Many water users do not pay the annual water charge after granting of respective water
permits. The water utility division of NWRB has a capacity of billing to only 30 – 40 %
of the concessionaires due to limited staff capacity. Out of the entities billed about 80 –
85 % pay the charge at present.
Out of the number of entities not billed (60 – 70% of the concessionaries) 20% is NIA,
10% is NPC and 70% is Water Districts. There are four types of irrigation water users:
individual farmers using shallow wells, irrigators associations for communal irrigation,
NIA for government irrigation systems, and corporations mainly plantations. It is
technically difficult to capture the individual farmers because many individual farmers
abandoned their farms due to dry out of shallow wells. Majority of the irrigators
associations paid the charge, but exact number of the irrigators associations is not
captured at present because collapsed associations were not captured. NIA intentionally
does not pay the charge. Some of the large corporations do not pay too. Those entities
which do not pay are subject to review and inspection because many irrigation lands
were converted to sub-division lots (household residential areas) in particular in Bulacan
and Dampang. Review and inspection surveys were not conducted yet due to shortage of
the manpower of NWRB.
L .1.3.3 Water Use Regulation during Draught
(1) Technical Working Group
The NWRB executes appropriate water use regulation during draught case by case. For
example the technical working group (TWG), established in 1960s for the water allocation of
the Angat dam, currently holds monthly regular meeting under secretariat of NWRB. The
Angat multipurpose dam (hydropower, irrigation, municipal water supply to Manila, etc.) is
located at Angat River, the tributary of Pampanga River in the province of Bulacan. The TWG
regular meeting for the Angat dam is functioning as a kind of draught regulation committee.
(2) A Case of Litigation for Water Right Allocation
During the severe draught in September 1997 caused by El. Nino the majority of the water of
Angat Dam allocated to NIA by the water permit, of which water users are irrigators
associations, was transferred to MWSS based on the fist priority to the domestic and
L-13
municipal use as stipulated in Article 95 of the Water Code. Farmers (irrigators association)
did not claim the compensation for the water rights following the regulation by the secretary
of NIA. Majority of farmers had not paid the irrigation service fee fully for long time. Farmers
had to pay the irrigation service fee if they claim the compensation. On the other hand, the
provincial government of Bulacan litigated against MWSS. The Regional Trial Court
determined that Manila Water Supply System (MWSS) shall pay the royalty (1% of the gross
sales) to the province of Bulacan based on Section 13 of the Local Government Code-1991.
The resolution has not been finalized yet. MWSS plans to appeal to the Court of Appeal if the
resolution is finalized.
This case suggests that the position of the irrigators association in terms of water rights is
weak and unstable under the present Water Code. The purpose of the annual water charges
based on water permit and the purpose of the royalty of water based on the Local Government
Code 1991 are different, thus those will be subject to review.
L .1.3.4 Water Resources Planning and Assessment
(1) Water Resources Planning and IWRM
The NWRB is tasked with collating, coordinating and updating the framework plans for water
resources and for NEDA to integrate the plans for water resources development and
management into national strategies and policies. In 1994, NWRB produced an updated
National Framework Plan on Water Resources Management that incorporated Regional
framework Studies. The NWRB also recommends to NEDA suitable action plans to address
emerging issues in the water resources sector as they evolve.
On the other hand, the NEDA Board, which is chaired by the President of the Philippines,
formulates national policies and strategies including those on the water resources sector. The
NEDA has been the leading agency in preparing the Medium Term Philippine Development
Plan (MTPDP) and the Medium Term Public Investment Plan (MTPIP). Both planning
documents incorporate water resources sector plans at the national and regional levels. There
are also coordinating committees established to align development of water resources with the
national strategies and fiscal direction of the government. The role of NWRB in this segment
of water resources management is confined to updating policies on water resources and
integrating various sub-sector policies, strategies and plans on water resources.
The NWRB does not have the authority to determine the priority of the projects for
implementation of a specific river basin water resources master plan. Neither a national
government agency nor a local government has authority to determine and implement such an
IWRM Master Plan which involved in multiple provinces and multiple water sectors in a river
basin.
For planning and implementation of an IWRM Basin Master Plan which involved in multiple
regions and sectors, cross-coordination of the Regional Development Council (RDC) and the
Infrastructure Committee (INFRACOM) may be necessary for provincial governments and
national agencies respectively.
The RDC regulates and approves inter-provincial projects and government loan projects under
the secretariat by NEDA. The function of INFRACOM, chaired by the Director General of
NEDA Secretariat, is to advise the President and the NEDA Board on matters concerning
infrastructure development, including highways, airports, seaports and shore protection,
railways, power generation, transmission and distribution, tele-communication, irrigation,
flood control and drainage, water supply and sanitation, national buildings for government
offices, hospitals and related buildings, state colleges and universities, elementary and
secondary school buildings, and other public works.
(2) Water Resources Assessment
Assessment of water resources is a collaborative effort by several agencies of government.
The Bureau of Research and Standards (BRS), the National Irrigation Administration (NIA)
L-14
and the National Power Corporation (NPC) are the three agencies that are primarily
responsible for the collection of stream flow data.
In 1974, NWRB assumed the responsibility of accumulating and processing data on river
stages and discharges. In 1987, the functions of NWRB were realigned and the maintenance
of the national network of stream flow data was transferred to BRS. The actual collection and
processing of the stream flow data in the field are under the direct control and supervision of
the regional offices of DPWH. There are about 274 monitoring stations nationwide which
daily register river stages. The information and data collected from these stations are
submitted to the DPWH regional offices where they are fed and processed through the BRS
developed computerized data processing system. It is reported that BRS does not have
sufficient capacity to continue recoding and processing of stream flow as of September 2010.
It is noted that the regional offices are primarily project-oriented and are the implementing
arms of the department. Water data collection is not an inherent mandate of the office.
The NIA and NPC are also involved in generating stream flow data mainly for the purpose
required by their respective projects. Data collection activities by these agencies are normally
confined to monitoring stations surrounding their project sites. Information gathered by these
agencies are processed but are hardly published. Collectively, these agencies maintain about
168 stream flow stations which monitor river stages and discharges. It is necessary that the
data gathered by these agencies are included in the information network for stream flow data
to be useful.
L .1.3.5 Strengthening of NWRB and Water Code by EO 123
(1) Progress of EO 123
The NWRB is composed of five divisions with 126 positions under the Office of Executive
Director (OED): namely, policy and program division, water right division, water utilities
division, monitoring and enforcement division, and administrative and financial division. Its
organization chart is shown in Annex-F L.1.3.2. The total staff number is only 103 including 8
of the OED as of June 2009 for the 126 positions. It is reported that shortage of present
manpower is serious to execute its mandate.
The NWRB was attached to President Office at the end of 2009. EO 123 aims to strengthen
NWRB, to attach NWRB to DENR and transferred the review and approval of the tariff of
Water Districts to NWRB from the Local Water Utility Administration (LWUA). Under EO
123 the NWRB is required to execute the three tasks:
(a) Review of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Water Codes and amend
the same,
(b) Formulate a new or revised organization structure for its secretariat to effectively and
efficiently carry out its mandate under PD 424 (1974) and PD 1067 (1976),
(c) After approval of the new or revised organization and manpower structure of NWRB
secretariat by the president, NWRB shall then be transferred to DENR as a bureau for
purpose of administrative control and supervision.
The first task was approved and implemented in 2005. For the second task NWRB proposed,
to DBM for its approval in 2008, a new organization which provides three services with 182
positions: namely, policy, coordination and integration service, economic regulatory service,
and resource regulation service. The new organization structure is shown in Annex-F L.1.3.3.
It was prepared based on the logical framework for NWRB3) illustrated in Annex-F L.1.3.4.
The mandate of NWRB stipulated in the Organizational Performance Indicator Framework
(2008) is “NWRB coordinates and regulates all water resources development and
management of the country. It is responsible for achieving a scientific and orderly
development of all water resources consistent with the principles of optimum utilization,
conservation, and protection to meet present and future needs”.
L-15
After NWRB was transferred from President Office to DENR based on Executive Order No.
860 on 8 February 2010, NWRB reviewed the proposed organization structure of 2008, and
drafted amendment as shown in Annex-F.1.3.5 where the legal and adjudication office is
extended to Service and the number of position is increased from 182 to 196. Section 4 of E.
O. No. 860 wits, “the NWRB shall desist from regulating the water tariffs of Water Districts,
which shall hereinafter be undertaken by the Local Water Utilities Administration in
accordance with Presidential Decree No. 198 as amended by Executive Order 124-A, series of
1987”.
(2) Past Legislative Reform Initiatives
(a) Initiative by DENR with UNDP
In 1996 President Ramos created the Presidential Task Force on Water Resources
Management and Development (PTFWRDM) under DENR, assisted by the United
Nations Development Program (UNDP), to develop a comprehensive water resources
management strategy as well as to prepare a draft bill on water resources to respond to
the Water Crisis Act in 1995. In August 1997, the PTFWRDM drew up a legislative
proposal to create a new apex body to take charge of water resources management and
economic regulation of all utilities within the country. The proposal sought to create the
Water Resources Authority of the Philippines (WRAP) as a new entity to take over the
functions, powers and responsibilities of NWRB, in addition to new and broad powers
and functions. The bill was pended and adjourned during the 10th Congress
(1995-1989), and re-filed during the 12th Congress (2001-2004) and 13th Congress
(2004-2007), but it never leaded to the committee hearing stage. The task force was
disbanded in 2002. A new WARP bill, as Senate Bill No. 799 was filed with the Public
service committee of the Senate during the 14th Congress (2007-2010).
(b) Initiative by NEDA with IBRD
A policy report made by NEDA for International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (IBRD) in 1996 recommended that economic regulation (regulation of
water service providers) be separated from resource management (regulation of water
utilization including issue of water permit and enforcement of laws) and proposed the
creation of a Water Regulatory Commission (WRC) as an independent economic
regulatory body. The WRC proposal was originally initiated in 1997 by DPWH as an
offshoot of the MWSS privatization. The farmers envisaged that water resources
regulation would still remain with NWRB while the WRC would devote itself to purely
economic regulation. The WRC draft bill completed in July 2001 was filed in the Senate
as Senate Bill No. 1227 during the 12th Congress (2001-2004) but it never reached the
Committee hearing stage. In the 14th Congress (2007-2010) Senate Bill No. 519 which
proposed to create the WRC was referred to two Senate committees where it remained
pending.
(c) Conflict of Two Bills (WRAP and WRC)
Both bills for the WRAP (by DENR) and WRC (by NEDA) intended to strengthen the
country’s economic regulatory framework but the underlying principles are divergent.
While the WRC separates the resources regulatory functions from economic regulation,
the WRAP proposes to create an apex body incorporating both functions. Both bills
drafted at almost the same period by two different executive departments were funded
by two different donor agencies.
There was not enough consultation done with the different stakeholders regarding the
two bills. Many stakeholders were very worry about the powers vested in the WRAP
and raised their objections with some resorting to lobbying against the bill with their
Congress allies. The WRC bill appeared later also failed to get active support from the
stakeholders including the main sector players, i.e. NWRB, LWUA, DILG, Philippine
Association of Water Districts (PAWD) and LGUs without enough consultation.
L-16
During the 14th Congress these two conflicting bills, WRAP and WRC have been filed.
To move forward these bills the major stakeholders in the sector must agree on the end
result.
(3) Recommendation by NEDA
The NEDA, the NWRB and the GTZ jointly recommended a regulatory reform of the water
supply sector in the Philippines in November 20084). The theme of the recommendations is
summarized below.
(a) The NWRB shall continue to exist purely as a resource management regulatory agency
after the time when WRC is formed. During the interim period or prior to creation of
WRC, it shall continue to function as a resource and economic regulator and shall be
strengthened to be able to improve the both functions. NWRB shall also start discussions
with other economic regulators to harmonize functions and start the deputization process.
(b) The LWUA should continue to function as a specialized funding agency and a provider
of technical and management assistance to all types of water utilities. All WDs with the
Conditional Certificates of Conformance (CCC) should automatically be granted an
operating license by WRC.
(c) A special law creating WRC should be enacted by the government purely for economic
regulation of the sector. All types of water utilities should be under the ambit of WRC
except those created under special laws.
L .1.3.6 Present Status of IWRM and River Basin Organization
(1) IWRM as National Policy
The Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) 2004-2010 adopted the Integrated
Water Resources Management (IWRM) through the river basin approach as the general
strategy for water resources management. In this regard, the creation of river basin
organizations or any appropriate authorities was identified as a specific strategy to manage
water resources. It envisages that water resources management is a society’s responsibility,
sharing and transparent and fully integrated planning of the whole stretch of the river system
considering all upstream and downstream users.
(2) Current Situation of RBO
In the Philippines River Basin Organizations (RBO) were established as authority, council,
commission or board in the past for four river basins: namely, Laguna Lake Development
Authority (LLDA) in 1969, the Bicol River Basin Council in 1973, the Agno River Basin
Development Commission, and Bohol Integrated Water Resources Management Board
(BIWRMB) in 2007. A non-governmental multi-sectoral body, PCEEM Davao Foundation
Inc. is also functioning to assist protection and/or rehabilitation of watersheds and water
quality management of the Talomo-Lipadas Watersheds (TLWs) since 2002. There is a
movement to establish Agusan River Basin Authority, Cagayan River Basin Authority and
several river basin development authorities drafted as House Bills in 2009.
There is no official river basin organization for Pampanga river basin at present. The Upper
Pampanga River Basin (UPRB) Coordination Council was established by Province of Nueva
Ecija collaborated with the Central Luzon State University, NIA and others in 2002, but there
is no official report of activities in NEDA Region III. The present status of activities of the
RBOs is summarized in Table L.1.3.1.

NEDA-Region III
(3) RBCO
DENR envisaged to be the primary government agency which responsible for the
conservation, management, development and proper use of the country’s environment and
natural resources, including those in reservations, watershed areas and lands of the public
domain, as well as the licensing and regulation of all natural resources utilization as may be
provided by law. The RBCO intended to orchestrate and provide the overall direction and
technical assistance in the implementation of policies, plans and programs for the protection,
conservation, management and wise use of the country’s river basins. It shall ensure effective
and efficient improvement of all mandates and provision of EO 510.
The DENR, River Basin Control Office (RBCO) proposed to establish National River Basin
Commission (NRBC) chaired by the DENR secretary which is to be supported by RBCO,
Water Resources Management Bureau (a line bureau), River Basin Organization (RBO),
DENR-RENRO (Regional Environmental and Natural Resources office), etc. in March 20075),
(Refer to the proposed organizational set up6)). Under this proposal the RBO was composed of
River Basin Field Management Office (RBFMO) and River Basin Council (RBC). The
NWRB was proposed to be reorganized into the Water Resources Management Bureau
(WRMB) mainly tasked to administer regulatory functions on water resources use, rights,
granting of water permits, imposition of penalties for administrative violations and other water
related regulations relative to the principle of integrated and ecosystem-based water resources
management approach. It also tasks to implement water regulations and monitor compliance
to the regulations. In order to materialize this proposal RBCO of DENR intended to introduce
a concept of river basin management under the River Law of Japan in line with the
amendments of the Water Codes. This proposal was canceled in 2009.
Since February 2010 the NWRB has been attached to DENR and RBCO is scheduled to be
merged with the River Basin Development Division of NWRB as proposed in the organization
structure (refer to Section L.1.3.5(1), Annex-F L.1.3.3 and Annex-F L.1.3.5) based on the
Rationalization Plan submitted to DBM for approval.
L-18
(4) Proposed House Bills Creating River Basin Authority

Five House Bills were drafted for creating River Basin Authorities infringing the concept of
managing the whole stretch of the river system. The House Bill Nos. 927 (An Act creating the
Ifugao-Isaberla River Basin Authority), 1299 (the Zamboanga River Development Authority),
1338 (the Iloilo and Muelle Loney Development Authority), 1810 (Each City or Municipality
to create a River Basin Development Authority), 3199 (Each City or Municipality to create a
River Basin Development Authority) cover only cities and tributaries of the major river basins.
The House Bill No. 5090 creating the Cagayan River Basin Authority (CAVARIA) is
consistent with the MTPDP.
L-19
L.2 Problems and Issues on IWRM Institution

L.2.1 Mission of IWRM
L .2.1.1 Issues
The intended function of IWRM of the RBOs in the Philippines tends to be very broad. The IWRM
mission targeted by some RBOs, such as Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA),
Ifugao-Isabela River Basin Development Authority (House Bill), etc. is an integrated management of
all sector projects exceeding the frame of water-related sectors. There seems to be no such case in
the other countries. What should be the IWRM envisaged for the target year 2025 in Pampanga river
basin?
L .2.1.2 Historical Background of IWRM
A concept of river basin management was established by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the USA in
the 1930th. In the Lake Conference Sussex in 1949 the term, comprehensive river basin
developments was identified first. An initial international activity for IWRM was the
recommendation of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) in 1971 to ECE
Governments concerning River Basin Management7). Stockholm Declaration on Human
Environment of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in 1972 recommended an
integrated approach to water resources management8). The International Water Law Association
(Association Internationale De Droit Des Eaux) clarified legally the IWRM concept in Caracas
Conference 1976. The principles of the Dublin statement on Water and Sustainable Development
(1992)9) inspired the Rio declaration in 1992. Global Water Partnership (GWP) was established in
1996 to clarify the principles for water resources management.
What is the difference of the two terms; comprehensive management and integrated management?
Both comprehensive management and integrated management consider five perspectives; function,
geography, administration, hydrology and ecology, and interdisciplinary10). Hydrology and ecology
is part of function but it is assumed independent from the specific aspect of environmental
conservation. Difference between the two terms, ‘comprehensive’ and ‘integrated’ will be originated
from firstly, to which extent related perspectives are well taken into consideration for the subject water
issues. Secondly to which extent administrative power and mandates of concerned implementing
organizations are clearly defined and well allocated to achieve the specific goal of IWRM11).
Though the concept of IWRM has been acknowledged internationally it has not been institutionally
materialized yet in most countries including USA (depending on State), United Kingdom, Japan, etc.
L .2.1.3 Mission of IWRM
The mission of IWRM adopted in Agenda 21 (Chapter 18) aimed mainly to manage the whole water
environment by a river basin unit, and to develop relevant water codes and concerned administrative
organizations. The IWRM mission has been expanded gradually toward three different aspects. The
first essential mission that is applied in arid and semi-arid countries aims to manage the key
inter-active water elements; surface water and groundwater for water use, and water quantity and
water quality. Its key management elements were i) securing safe water supply to various uses and
ii) securing water quality for sanitation and ecology (effluent control and waste water treatment).
The second, a broader mission aims to integrate the three key inter-active elements; water, land and
environments including securing safety against flood (flood control). Its key management elements
cover flood control, soil erosion, compound pollution, preservation of watersheds and habitats, and
irrigation and drainage issues in addition to ones in the first mission. The third, an extreme broad
mission aims to integrate water and social and economic developments which form a broad aspect of
sustainable development in long-term. Its key management elements expand from the water related
development and environment to all kind of development activities by integrating infrastructure plans,
land use plans and urban development plans.
The second mission that covers the three attributes; water use, flood control and water environment
L-20
illustrate in Figure L.2.1.1 has been widely acknowledged both in the OECD countries and the
developing countries, but the third broadest mission is still in conceptual level. The third mission
crates a new layer of authority which is confronted with the reality of the existing mandates of line
agencies that reflected historical background of the politics and socioeconomic structure of the country
concerned. Creation of a new layer of authority is subject to discussion in Pampanga river basin.
The IWRM concept at any level is made functional provided with an essential support system of
monitoring system and database system for scientific and equitable coordination and management.

L.2.2 Functions of RBOs

L .2.2.1 Issues
The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) recommended that a river basin organization should be
organized in line with the preparation of the Study. Both the NWRB and JICA agreed that the
creation of the river basin organization will be the best interest of the Study12). The NWRB envisages
that the creation of the RBO would materialize IWRM by a river basin unit and positive effect to
reinforce water resources management including water rights would be gained. On the other hand the
IWRM Plan concept was accepted as part of the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan
(2004-2010) during the Central Luzon Water Summit, but creation of RBO or other organizational
structure is not part of NEDA Region III plan because the existing Regional Development Council
(RDC) is functioning well at present. The NEDA Region III respects the present mandates of the
national and regional line agencies and local governments keeping basically unchanged.
Strengthening of the existing institution and organizations is recommended without creating a new
layer of authority. The NEDA Region III have apprehension that creation of a RBO would create a
new layer of authority which overlaps with the authority of the RDC to coordinate implementation of
the projects concerned with multiple provinces and sectors.
This Section analyzes the present RBOs in the Philippines presented in Section L.1.3.6 by classifying
RBOs in terms of dimensions of their functions or authority, and by comparing with cases in other
countries, and reviews the direction of appropriate RBO functions of Pampanga River.
L .2.2.2 Type of RBOs
The RBOs presented in Section L.1.3.6 are classified into five types in terms of dimensions of the
functions or authority of RBOs as shown in Table L.2.2.1. Type 1 has the broadest and strongest
functions while Type 5 has narrow functions.

The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) classified as Type-1 RBO, but it is a body for an
integrated area development. LLDA has extremely broad and powerful functions in particular
planning and regulating all kind of infrastructures not limiting to advocating water resources and
environmental management. Functions of Type-2 are broad and similar to Type-1 though its main
services are focused on water-related projects in a river basin or a tributary of a river basin. The Bohol
IWRM Board classified as Type-3 is a statutory coordination body for advocating IWRM and
monitoring watershed environment. Its functions are limited to mainly management of watershed
environment and water quality. Pceen-Davao Foundation Inc. classified as Type-3 is a NGO for
multi-sector collaboration through net working ad collaboration of local stakeholders. The Agusan
River Basin Authority (ARBA) aims to integrate comprehensive land use and water use plan, and also
to integrate the ARB Master Plan into the local government code, but its functions are limited to
coordination.
L .2.2.3 Functions of RBOs in Philippines and Other Countries
Type-1 and Type-2 RBOs in the Philippines are basically different from those have been operated in
the advanced countries in particular Australia and Japan. Type-1 and Type-2 will create a new layer
of authority due to their broad functions which overlaps the functions of RDCs or NEDA Regional
offices or other line agencies. Type-3, Type-4 and Type-5 do not create overlapping authority with
the line agencies in principle. The key functions of the five RBOs in the Philippines and two RBOs
in Australia and Japan are compared with in Table L.2.2.3.
L-22
The water rights administration has been linked with the basic plan for water resources development in
Type-4 and Type-5 (Refer to Annex-F L.2.2.1 and L.2.2.2). There is no such legal arrangement in the
Philippines. For example, the Basic Plan for Water Resources Development, which is linked with
water rights of a river basin, is under the mandates of the national river administrator, Minister of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan. The NWRB explains that the micro and macro
framework of water rights is not delineated well by a river basin unit in the Philippines. The micro
framework of water rights is a management framework to issue respective water permits (water rights),
while the macro framework is a management framework to regulate water rights allocation and
conflicts in a region from a part of the basin to the whole basin between more than two water rights
based on the water resources policy. Allocation of the function of operation and management of the
river and hydraulic structures is not well defined between the national government and local
governments in the Philippines, and this underlines a basic difference of the functions of RBOs.
The Murray-Daring Basin Authority (MDBA) - Type-4 was transferred to a national agency for water
resources management in 2009. Its mission is noted to aim at the most advanced water resources
management. Its functions are limited to manage the river basin’s water resources including
water-related environment and the river basin water resources development plan. Reallocation of
water rights is facilitated through water rights trading to achieve reasonable, efficient and equitable
allocation of water rights among water users. Japan Water Agency (JWA) – Type-5 is a national
agency for IWRM, but its functions are limited to only construction and operation and maintenance of
the river facilities within the specified river basins. For both Type-4 and Type-5 operation and
management of the river and hydraulic structures is a key basic function.

L.2.3 Gap Analysis and Strategic Issues

L .2.3.1 Gap Analysis
(1) Objective
The objective (goal) of the institutional and organizational arrangements is to materialize the
IWRM Plan in Pampanga river basin in practice. The gaps between the objective and the
prevailing problems and needs have been analyzed. Then the strategic issues have been
identified and defined to fulfill the gaps and to achieve the objective through the top-down
and bottom-up approaches. Appropriate actions are studied as alternative countermeasures
for the strategic issues. Four sustainable outcomes and nine strategic themes delineated in
the National IWRM Plan Framework (November 2006) have been also referred to define the
strategic issues.

Eleven strategic issues have been defined for five key IWRM functions as set out in Table
L.2.3.1 based on the problem-cause and objective-analyses done through a series of the joint
steering committee meetings with the technical working group, the technical working group
meetings, the stakeholder consultation, the focus group discussion and the counterpart
meetings. Those IWRM functions and strategic issues are not directly related to
prioritization and implementation of projects but are the basis for the integrated water
resources management. Definition of the eleven strategic issues is presented in the following
section. The key alternative actions for these strategic issues are presented in Section L.3.

L .2.3.2 Definition of Strategic Issues

(1) Strategic Issue-1 Strengthen Water Rights Regulation Capacity
(a) Background Issues
Strengthen water rights regulation to secure the rational, equitable, efficient and
ecologically sustainable allocation of water, and to secure seasonal water supply
reliability and long-term water supply is one of the sustainable outcomes of the National
IWRM Plan Framework. The NWRB’s resolution on the water rights allocation
among MWSS, AMRIS (NIA), Bulacan and NPC (non-consumptive) concerning the
Bustos Dam and the Angat Dam operation is pending due to partly of the situation the
aggregate quantity of the present water use permit exceeds the potential dependable
flow (refer to Section 5.7 Water Resources Development, Allocation and Distribution of
the Main Report). If present institution is kept unchanged the water supply security
level (reliability) in Angat river basin will decrease, and it will result in increasing a risk
of the regional socio-economic loss.
Short coming of the present system is:
 There is no legal target or standard to define the minimum water resources supply
security level and to control aggregated quantity of water permit to be issued for a
region or the whole basin;
 The present quantitative monitoring system is very weak at cross-checking the
regional water balance and regulate the aggregated discharge and quantity of more
than two water permits in a region where daily or seasonal water diversion
conflicting is expected;
 Present enforcing power is also not effectively functioning to regulate over issues
or to control of the aggregate rate and quantity of water permit; and
 With reference to the grid law (RA 9136), NPC’ responsibility of peak power
L-25
generation, NPC does not follow the NWRB’s regulation to modify the daily peak
hydropower generation for meeting the regional demand of irrigation water and
municipal water supply. The water code and the grid law are competing.
(b) The Water Code and Water Permit
In Art. 18 of the water code, the water permit specifies first; the maximum amount of
water which may be delivered or withdrawn, second; the maximum rate of diversion or
withdrawal, third; the time or times during the year when water may be diverted or
withdrawn. But the present water permit is granted by the maximum rate of diversion
only. There is no requirement for the regulation on the seasonal diversion and daily
fluctuation of water use.
The permit shall specify the maximum rate, maximum quantity, daily or seasonal
variation of diversion (the time or times during the year) to control efficient water use.
Art. 20, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 30 of the water code is not appropriately enforced by
NWRB due to partly insufficient definition of these articles and/or weak enforcement
power. The related Articles of CHAPTER III APPROPRIATION OF WATERS, Water
Code of the Philippines (1966) are listed in Appendix L-1.
(2) Strategic Issue-2 Enhance Efficient Water Use and Re-allocation of Water Rights
Sustainable water resources and responsive services for present and future needs is one
of the sustainable outcomes of the National IWRM Plan Framework. However, the
present public and user base allocation system of water rights results in wasteful
consumption of water and spawns the growing scarcity of water. There is no incentive
for water users in particular irrigators to save water or to increase water use efficiency.
Reduction of non-revenue water including leakage reduction has been achieved
dramatically by Manila Water Company (MWC) due to high incentive to increase its
profit. However, irrigators using the NIA irrigation system have no incentive to save
their water use. Irrigation facilities fee is accounted by the unit of irrigation land area
instead of the unit of used water quantity (m3). The water right title holder is NIA
instead of irrigators and thus water saving does not result in reduction of annual water
charges. NIA has not paid it to NWRB yet. Saving of irrigation water does not
increase income of irrigators like MWC. Benchmarking of best practices in water
allocation from other countries is also anticipated.
(b) Present Water Code
Art.19 of the water code enables the title holder to lease or transfer of water rights, but
lease and transfer may not be implemented by this article only because detailed IRR is
not clear including definition of lease and transfer, required conditions, process,
compensation for lease or transfer, etc. Rule, guidelines, procedure, etc., are subject to
the approval of NWRB.
(3) Strategic Issue-3 Modify Overlapping Water Charge System
(a) Present Water Code
On June 6, 2003, the provincial Bulacan Governor filed a suit against MWSS to compel
the water agency to furnish the local government its financial statements or any
financial document showing MWSS’ income from 1992 up to the present, and that it be
paid its share in the earnings of agency resulting from the latter’s utilization of the water
resources derived from Angat Dam. During the case two legal questions were raised:
whether or not the water in Angat Dam is part of the national wealth of the country; and
whether or not the Bulacan provincial government is entitled to collect a share from the
proceeds of the water stored in Angat Dam. The Regional Trial Court decided on June
3, 2005. In June 2008 the Court of Appeal ordered MWSS to remit to Bulacan
L-26
Province its share from the water firm’s earnings generated from its use of water from
Angat Dam from 1992 up to the present based on Section 291 of the Local Government
Code (LGC) of 1991.
The NWRB comments that the overlapping provisions on the water charges in the Water
Code (NWRB’s water fees and charges for concession) and the LGC (a share of the
national wealth by LGUs) are to be unified.
(b) Present Water Code and Local Government Code
Art.3&6(waters belong to the State) of the water code, and IRR Setion8 (water fee or
charges) deals only water fees and charges for all appropriators.
Chapter 2- Share of Local Government Units in the National Wealth (sec. 289 to Sec.
295) of the LGC stipulates details of the share of the national wealth.
(4) Strategic Issue-4 Achieve Sustainability of Groundwater
In Bulacan Province in Pampanga River land subsistence and saline water intrusion in
the groundwater are progressive due to excessive groundwater withdrawal. Enhancing
effectiveness in groundwater management and aquifer protection is one of the strategic
themes of the National IWRM Plan Framework. However, there is no institutional
arrangement to prevent excessive groundwater pumping. There is also no extensive
groundwater monitoring system for sustainable groundwater development; both quantity
and groundwater level. On the other hand Section 46 of IRR, Water Code allows
exhaustion of groundwater. It is expected to clarify the organization and its
responsibility of groundwater management and also to enhance transfer of the municipal
water supply sources from groundwater to surface water.
IRR Section 46 Requirement of Drilled Well, item d is subject to modification, wit:
‘Groundwater mining may be allowed provided that the life of the groundwater
reservoir system is maintained for at least 50 years.’
(5) Strategic Issue-5 Introduce Specific Law to Enhance Multipurpose Dam Projects
At present one line agency or one main entity can takes charge of implementation of a
large reservoir dam, where cost allocation of the dam body (common facilities) or
allocation of reservoir capacity is not defined. The beneficiary’s pay principle (BPP) is
not enacted yet. The reservoir operation rule for the peak daily hydropower operation,
water discharge allocation rule during draught among irrigation and municipal water
supply has not been rationally and equitably executed as expected by water users.
There is also no specific cost allocation for the flood control purpose for the dam
reservoir operation in the Philippines. The reservoir operation rule during extreme
flood events has not been settled yet among the stakeholders in the central Luzon area
after the flood evens in 2009. This issue is originated partly from the fact that there is
no legal basis about cost and reservoir volume allocation rule among multiple water
users (also among public and private entities) in the Philippines yet, such as the specific
multipurpose dam law in Japan. Without definition of the cost allocation of the dam
reservoir for flood control the reservoir operation rule described in the strategic issue-8
also may not be consolidated.
Art.30 of the water code deals with only compensation in case modified to
multi-purpose development.
L-27
(6) Strategic Issue-6 Enforce to Maintain Environmental Flow

Among water users environmental flow is considered to be a major determinant of
ecosystem health, not provision of a minimal quantity. Effective protection and
regulation of ecosystem is one of the sustainable outcomes of the National IWRM Plan
Framework. One of the strategic objectives is to establish policy framework and to
undertake innovative programs to restore and/or to improve the health of priority
stressed rivers, lakes, and other water bodies as well as to ensure that those currently not
significantly stressed remain healthy. However, no concessionaires comply with the
required discharge of the minimum flow (10% of the dependable flow), which is
responsible for the concessionaries with the condition of water permit. Definition of
the present minimum flow is not well comprehended among water users. The water
managers argue lack of scientific technical tools and data and information for setting the
standard minimum flow.
Art.66 (minimum stream flows for rivers and streams, minimum water levels for lakes)
of the water code and Section 47 of IRR deal with the issues.
(7) Strategic issue-7 Strengthen Water Quality Monitoring and Management
Groundwater quality deterioration is serious at some local areas due to discharges of
effluents, mainly organic matters from the domestic sewerage and the incompliant
industries. Manila Bay Coordination Committee was established as a satellite office of
RBCO of DENR to control the increasing pollution loads to the Manila Bay. In spite
of inter-sector and inter-regional efforts sources of pollution loads have not been
clarified yet. However, the present institution to monitor and to enforce water quality
control is not effective. There are a few water quality monitoring stations in Pampanga
River except at large dam or headwork sites.
(b) Present Water Code and Clean Water Act
Chapter VI Conservation and Protection of Waters and Watershed and Related Land
Resources (Art. 66 to Art. 78.) deals with water quality management, where pollutants
are defined by the National Pollution Control Commission. The clean water acts
govern comprehensive water quality framework. However, there are no specific
regulations or standards for the density of water quality monitoring stations,
responsibility of water users, and functions of establishment, operation and maintenance
of the water quality monitoring. In particular there is no specific responsibility on the
water users in Pampanga river basin to share the cost of water quality monitoring and
management.
(8) Strategic Issue-8 Manage and Mitigate the Risk from Water-related Disasters
There is no flood control basin plan (FCBP) in Pampanga River except for the
Pampanga Delta Development Project, Phase I to III for the lower stretch of the river.
There is also no target flood control level (for example once in 10 years or 20 years) for
the serious flood plain lands in Pampanga River. The reservoir operation rules during
the extreme floods incidents have not been officially establish yet by the JOMC for
Angat Dam, Pantabangan Dam, San Roque Dam, Binga Dam, etc. This is partly
originated from the fact that there is no legal basis to define the responsibility to
mitigate risks from floods of each of the water users concerned. Establishment of the
FCBP for the whole river basin or the concerned river stretch, and establishment of the
flood control account for the dam reservoirs related with the strategic issue-5 might
L-28
provide a clue to resolve the issue. Other issues with respect to manage and mitigate
flood disasters are:
 Right-of-way is one of the serious barriers for implementing flood control projects
in the study area in particular construction of dike systems; and
 Responsibility of O&M of the flood control and river facilities is not well defined
after transfer of the facilities from DPWH to LGUs based on the LGC of 1991.
Lack of funds for O&M and monitoring of flood control and river facilities is also
serious.
Chapter V Control of Waters (Art.53. to Art.65.) deals with control of flood plain lands,
flood control structures, and flood plain management plan, etc. Art.51. defines the
public domain of the river. There are no IRR or technical standards for the flood
control plan, flood control target level, reservoir operation rule, and maintenance of the
river facilities at present.
(9) Strategic Issue-9 Improve Watershed and Forest Management
Responsible functions and territory of watershed management are not well defined,
fragmented and overlapping among DENR, related national agencies and different level
of local governments in particular forest management. Funds for implementation,
maintenance and monitoring are also limited. Necessity of institutional strengthening
has been reported but detailed and concrete problems and causes about the weak
capacity have not been clarified well.
(10) Strategic Issue-10 Set up Authority to Implement Pampanga River Basin IWRM
There are no specific institutional and legal arrangements in Pampanga river basin to
localize and implement IWRM Plan in practice in particular water resources
management and maintenance. It is necessary to study further if creation of a RBO is
required for Pampanga river basin, and the direction of the basic conditions, and what
functions of RBO are to be targeted.
RDC Region III is the highest policy and decision-making body in the region for
development plans, investment programs, project monitoring, etc.
There are several conflicting institutional proposals for River Basin Organization (RBO)
such as a committee under RDC Region III, RBO as a part of the line agency, River
Basin Control Office (RBCO), DENR, Independent River Basin Council as a
coordination body, and RBO as a operation and maintenance body of the river facilities.
The Purpose and function of RBO is not well defined yet among the options.
Advocate and implement the IWRM Plan particularly monitoring of water rights, water
quality, ecosystem and O&M of flood control facilities are the key missing functions of
the existing organizations.
(11) Strategic Issue-11 Strengthen Execution and Financial Capacity of LGUs for
Sustainability
It is necessary to clarify institutionally allocation of responsibility of the operation and
maintenance, and the burden of operation and maintenance costs of the river facilities in
the basin if projects of river facilities such as dikes and flood retarding basins are
implemented. It is also indispensable to strengthen the financial capacity of both
LGUs and the line agencies to set up sustainable IWRM from the regional interests.

The IWRM Plan would neither be implemented by amendment of the existing laws only nor capacity
strengthening of the existing organizations only. The key actions are structurally reviewed from the
three basic aspects: i.e., the legal aspect, the organizational aspect, and the financial aspect. Three
aspects of actions are the basic elements to empower implementing functions, and thus those are to be
executed simultaneously. Section L.3.2 deals alternative key actions for the respective strategic issues
defined in Section L.2.3.2 at first. Sections L.3.3 to L.3.5 integrate the key actions from the three
aspects respectively.
L.3.2 Strategic Issues and Key Actions
L .3.2.1 Basic Aspects of Actions
The three basic aspects of actions are defined as follows:
i. Legal Aspect: Amendment of related laws (the water code, the local government code,
etc.), regulation, rules, standards, guidelines;
ii. Organizational Aspect: Capacity strengthening of the existing organizations (NGAs/RLAs,
LGUs, etc) and supplement of missing functions to the existing ones; and
iii. Financial Aspect: Strengthening of financial capacity necessary to achieve sustainable
IWRM for Pampanga river basin.
Key alternative actions are studied as countermeasures to empower the existing and new institution

L .3.2.2 Proposed Key Actions

The description of the background of respective strategic issues is presented in Section L.2. This
section presents the alternative key actions (solutions) from the three aspects if applicable. Prospective
outcomes by the respective key actions are presented in Section L.3.3.2 for the amendment of the
water code and other related laws, rule and guidelines, Section L.3.4.2 for the capacity strengthening
of the line agencies and LGUs, Section L.3.4.3 for the capacity building of the missing functions for
IWRM, and Section L.3.5.2 for the strengthening of financial capacity.
L-31
(1) Strategic Issue-1 Strengthen Water Rights Regulation Capacity

(a) Amend Articles of Water Codes
The articles of the water code subject to amendment or modification to resolve the issue
are set out below.
 Establish an effective period of the water permit for 5 to 10 years to allow the
NWRB to review and enforce rational and efficient use of water (Art.26 & 28);
 Establish a rule to enforce the concessionaire to take concrete water saving
measures (Art.29 & 30, IRR Section22);
 Establish a penal rule to revoke the water permit if its concessionary executes no
measures of efficient use other than act of violation (Art.29 & 30);
 Provide Article to let the water code prevail over the other law (the grid law)
specifically for water rights regulation;
 Provide clear compensation rule for the loss of the priority concessionaire in time
of emergency (Art.22 & 23); and
 Modify the condition of water permit to specify concrete seasonal water use
schedule including non-consumptive use instead of only the maximum rate of
diversion or withdrawal (seasonal quantity and rate), (Art.18).
(b) Key Actions
The issue-1 will not be resolved by the amendment of the water code only. Appropriate
combination of legal, organizational and financial strengthening of water resources
management will be required as was in the advanced countries. Those actions will
cover:
(i) Legal Aspect
 Amend the relevant article of the water code and IRR;
 Establish a legal basis to make a water resources basin development plan (the
Basin Plan) to execute quantitative management of daily and/or seasonal variation
of regional water budget (balance) for Pampanga river basin and the strategic
river;
 Link legally water rights and the Basin Plan;
 Establish planning technical standards for the Basin Plan;
(ii) Organizational Aspect
 Establish NWRB owned reliable and accurate monitoring stations for discharge,
ecological flow and water quality at key water conflict areas;
 Strengthen the capacity of NWRB for monitoring and enforcing water rights; and
(iii) Financial Aspect
 Strengthen financial capacity of NWRB including annual water charge collection.
(2) Strategic Issue-2 Enhance Efficient Water Use and Re-allocation of Water Rights
(a) Amend Article of Water Code
The articles of the water code subject to amendment to resolve the issue are set out
below.
 Provide articles to link the water permit and the basin water resources
development plan (Basic Plan) to enable short and long term quantitative water
L-32
rights management with securing water supply reliability;

 Provide an article to establish relevant monitoring stations for transparent and
equitable water rights regulation including daily discharge;
 Establish planning standards for the Basic Plan to secure safe bulk water supply to
various water uses with a reliable risk; and
 Provide article to enable to reallocate the present water rights title granted to the
public entities such as NIA, MWSS and Bulacan Province to the water users such
as irrigators and/or water supply companies.
(b) Key Actions
The issue-2 will not be resolved by the revision of the water code only. Appropriate
combination of strengthening of legal power of water resources management will be
required in line with the issue-1. Those actions will cover:
(i) Legal Aspect
 Amend relevant articles of the water code and Implementing Regulation and Rules
(IRR);
 The key actions for the issue-1 are to be implemented simultaneously;
 Clarify risk of water supply failure of the conflicting water rights to enhance water
rights transfer and trading;
 Change the present constant annual water charge system for water permit into
different water charge for different supply reliability and seasonal variation; i.e.,
high charge for high reliability, high season, and longer concession like in
Australia;
 Establish reliable assurance and compensation rule for water transfer and trading;
and
 Establish IRR and technical guidelines for water transfer and trading.
(3) Strategic Issue-3 Modify Overlapping Water Charge System
(a) Key Actions
The issue-3 might not be resolved by the revision of the related article of the water code
or that of the local government code only. At present the public entities (NIA, MWSS,
Bulacan Province) still hold the water rights title which ware granted before
privatization of NIA and water companies. MWSS re-granted the water permit to the
water users, two companies. Bulacan Province also has a plan to re-grant its water right
to the water supply providers in the province in the future. NWRB and Bulacan
Province are both government entities (in spite national or local). The water permit
annual charge and the charge based on the share of the national wealth seem to be
overlapping to the water users. However, the purpose of these charges is basically
different. The former is national charge on water rights while the latter is a kind of
royalty to the natural resources. The LGUs are entitled to charge royalty to the
beneficiary as a part of local revenue if necessary based on the LGC. The duplication
issue is originated partly from such a condition that the title holders of the water rights
are still the government entity. If the water right of the public entities is transferred
totally to the water users, the charge by NWRB and the charge by LGU as royalty would
not be duplicated. Those actions will cover:
(i) Legal Aspect
 Review the overlapping provisions of the local government code with the water
code (Art.3&6, IRR Section8), etc;
L-33
 Provide an Article in the water code not to allow duplicated layer of granting water
permit to public entities; and
 The public entities that have water rights at present independently transfer those to
the water users.
(4) Strategic Issue-4 Achieve Sustainability of Groundwater
(a) Key Actions
The issue-4 will not be resolved by the revision of the water code only. Appropriate
combination of legal and organizational strengthening will be required. Those actions
will cover:
(i) Legal Aspect
 Modify IRR Section 46(Requirement of Drilled Well), item d;
 Empower the groundwater monitoring and enforcing function of the LGUs from
the regional interests; and
 Establish a regional monitoring system to monitor regional groundwater level
collaborated with EMB and LGUs including quantity and quality.
(5) Strategic Issue-5 Introduce Specific Law to Enhance Multipurpose Dam Projects
(a) Key Actions
The actions to empower legal arrangements cover:
(i) Legal Aspect
 Establish a account for flood control reservoir capacity instead of incidental
function for the multipurpose dams;
 Establish a specific law to define an equitable cost allocation rule among public
(in particular flood control) and private beneficiaries for multi-purpose projects to
reduce dam construction cost share among water users; and
 Link the reservoir operation rule with the cost share of reservoir volume allocation
and the flood control basin plan.
(6) Strategic Issue-6 Enforce to Maintain Environmental Flow
(a) Key Actions
The necessary actions to empower legal arrangements cover:
(i) Legal Aspect
 Provide concrete standard, enforcement measures and penalty to breakers in order
to execute strict regulation of Art.66, and IRR Section 47; and
 Set up an institution to enforce and monitor all concessionaires to comply with
requirement of the minimum stream flows for rivers and minimum water levels for
lakes to ensure environmental conservation.
(7) Strategic issue-7 Strengthen Water Quality Monitoring and Management
(a) Present Water Code and Clean Water Act
Chapter VI Conservation and Protection of Waters and Watershed and Related Land
Resources (Art. 66 to Art. 78.) deals with water quality management, where pollutants
are defined by the National Pollution Control Commission. The clean water acts govern
comprehensive water quality framework. However, there are no specific regulations or
L-34
standards for the density of water quality monitoring stations, responsibility of water
users, and functions of establishment, operation and maintenance of the water quality
monitoring. In particular there is no specific responsibility on the water users in
Pampanga river basin to share the cost of water quality monitoring and management.
(b) Key Actions
To resolve the issue-7 appropriate combination of institutional, organizational and
financial strengthening will be required as was in the advanced countries. Those actions
will cover:
(i) Legal Aspect
 Execute the key actions for the strategic issues-6 on parallel;
 Establish responsibility and role of water users on the water quality management
in the Basin;
 Strengthen the capacity of RBCO, EMB, FMB and related LGUs to execute and
enforce water quality management effectively;
 Strengthen the water quality monitoring system;
 Increase the fund of DENR to set up monitoring stations and O&M of the
monitoring systems; and
 Introduce the beneficiary’s pay principle (BPP) for the cost of water quality
management.
(8) Strategic Issue-8 Manage and Mitigate the Risk from Water-related Disasters
(a) Key Actions
The necessary actions to empower institutional arrangements cover:
(i) Legal Aspect
 Prepare the flood control basin plan (FCBP) for the severe flood prone areas based
on Art.53. of the water code (promote, coordinate protection of flood plain lands,
and flood plain management plan by the secretary of DPWH);
 Establish IRR and planning standards for the FCBP;
 Link legally the FCBP with reservoir operation rule of the large dams concerned;
 Amend IRR for the Right-of-way of the public domain of river regime; and
 Reconfirm the definition of the responsibility of O&M of the flood control and
river facilities after transfer of the facilities from DPWH to LGUs (MOA).
(9) Strategic Issue-9 Improve Watershed and Forest Management
(a) Key Actions
The necessary actions to empower organization cover:
 Monitor the progress and outcomes of the ongoing capacity development of the
development projects and programs for forest and watershed management
financed by JICA and other donors;
 Conduct capacity assessment on the outcomes from the ongoing projects and
L-35
programs; and
 Strengthen the execution capacity of the weak functions of FMB and LGUs still
remained based on the capacity assessment.
(10) Strategic Issue-10 Set up Authority to Implement Pampanga River Basin IWRM
(a) Key Actions
The necessary actions to empower organization cover:
 Clarify the necessary functions and missing functions in the existing organizations
for IWRM implementation;
 Supplement the function to the line agency (NWRB, DENR) or RDC and execute
capacity strengthening for monitoring and execution; and
 Set up an appropriate RBO for Pampanga river basin based on the regional
consensus.
(11) Strategic Issue-11 Strengthen Execution and Financial Capacity for Sustainability
(a) Key Actions
The necessary actions to empower financial capacity cover:
 Increase the share of O&M budget for the river facilities in both LGUs and
NGAs/RLAs (DPWH);
 Establish specific finances in LGUs for O&M;
 Set up a water users association to advocate sustainable IWRM in the Basin;
 Collect association fee for the O&M of RBO and IWRM; and
 Set up special accounts for sustainable IWRM in Pampanga river basin.
L.3.3 Amendment of Related Laws, Rules and Guidelines
Key issues concerned with the present Water Code and the related articles of the Constitution, the
Civil Code, and the Local Government Code are recited from Section L.1.3.1. In Section L.3.3.2 the
key actions with respect to the institutional aspect are integrated and recompiled out of the key actions
in Section L.3.2.2. Prospective key outcomes by the key institutional actions are also briefed in
Section L.3.3.2(1).
L .3.3.1 Constitution, Water Code, Civil Code and Local Government Code
(1) The Constitution and Water Code
Definition and state ownership of water
The national policy on water, as a natural resource, is enshrined in Section 2, Article XII of
the Philippine Constitution of 1987. The Water Code of the Philippines (Presidential Decree
No. 1067-1976) is the basic water law of the Philippines. It is anchored on the principle that
all waters belong to the State. Proceeding from this premise, these waters are not subject to
acquisitive prescription.
Separation of water from land
The provisions of Article 6 of the Water Code are a departure from the stipulations of the Civil
Code on water. Before their repeal by the Water Code, certain provisions of the Civil Code,
particularly those on ownership of waters (Section 503) recognized private ownership of
certain categories of water. These laws on the ownership of waters found in private lands are
L-36
now expressly abrogated by Article 6 of the Water Code. Other instances of repeal of Civil
Code provisions by the Water Code are treated.
Improvement of Water Code and Civil Code for Strategic Issue-2

The Water Code enable to lease or transfer of water rights in Article 19 based on Articles 5
and 6. To resolve Strategic issue-2 supplemental provision of article may be necessary to
define water rights as tradable property in the Civil Code.
Refer to further details of the Constitution and Water Code in Section L.1.3.1.
(2) Local Government Code
Basic Services and Facilities Vested in LGUs
The Local Government Code of 1991 transferred responsibility for public services from the
national agencies to local governments in their areas at all levels (provinces,
city/municipalities and barangays). The basic services and facilities vested in the LGUs are
listed for Barangay, Municipality, Province and City respectively in SEC.17, CHAPTER I of
the LGC- of 1991.
Public Works and Infrastructures Vested in National Government
Regional offices of national agencies or offices whose functions were devolved to LGUs
should also have been phased out. However, sector projects have been still led generally by
national agencies in coordination with LGUs due to limitation of funds and resources of
LGUs.
Share of Local Government Units in the National Wealth
Chapter 2- Share of Local Government Units in the National Wealth (sec. 289 to Sec. 295) of
the LGC stipulates details of the share of the national wealth.
Refer to further details of the Local Government Code in Section L.1.1.4 (4).
L .3.3.2 Improvement of Water Code and Other Related Laws, Rule and Guidelines
(1) Improvement of Water Code and Related Rules and Guidelines
The strategic issues and key actions related with improvement of the water code and other
related laws, rules and guidelines in Section L.3.2.2 are re-compiled in Annex-T L.3.3.1. The
highlighted actions for the strategic issues-1 to 4 and 6 to 8 are: to establish an effective period
of water permit for review by NWRB, to provide clear compensation rule for the loss due to
the priority concessionaire in time of emergency; to modify the condition of the amount of
water permit to specify concrete seasonal water use schedule; to make a water resources basin
development plan (the Basin Plan) for the strategic river basins and to link legally with the
water rights; to enable to reallocate the present water right title of the public entities to actual
water users; to establish reliable assurance and compensation rule for water transfer and
trading; and to prepare the flood control basin plan (FCBP) for the severe flood prone areas
and to link legally with the reservoir operation rules of large dams.
With the actions in Annex-T L.3.3.1 the following outcomes would be materialized to cope
with the corresponding strategic issues:
 The water resources supply security level in a region or the whole basin will be
controlled within the target risk of failure (for Issue-1);
 The regional water rights conflict will be significantly mitigated by the quantitative
regulation of the regional water budget covering the aggregated discharge and quantity
of more than two water permits in a region where daily or seasonal water diversion
conflict prevails (for Issue-1);
L-37
 Enforcing power of NWRB will effectively function to regulate over issues or to

control of the aggregate rate and quantity of water permit, and the prevailing water
rights conflict will be mitigated. Provision of the NWRB owned monitoring system is
also essential (for Issue-1);
 Incentive of water saving activities for water users in particular irrigators will be
enhanced, the present wasteful consumption of water will be mitigated, and the
growing scarcity of water will be mitigated (for Issues-2 & 3);
 The national and local governments will be legally responsible to maintain the
sustainability of groundwater (for Issue-4);
 The national and local governments will be legally responsible to monitor the
environmental flow and water quality for sustainability of the regional water
environment (for Issues-6 & 7);
 The national and local governments will be legally responsible to mitigate regional
risks from floods linked with the flood control basin plan (FCBP) (for Issue-8); and
 Flood control function of dam reservoirs will be legally justified to mitigate regional
risk from floods linked with the FCBP (for Issue-8).
Details of the background and corresponding outcomes are noted hereunder.
Verification of Regional Water Supply Security Level
With the foregoing outcomes it will also be made possible to assess if the water shortage in
Angat River during the draught period could be mitigated in reality by the construction of the
proposed two dams, Balintingon Dam and Bayabas Dam. It will also provide instrumentation
to verify quantitatively if the water shortage in the Manila metropolitan area and the related
water source area will occur only in time of emergency (extreme draught event) stipulated in
Article 22 of the water code or as chronic events.
Incentive of Water User’s Water Saving Activities
The purpose to provide an Article is to enable to reallocate the present water rights title
granted to the public entities such as NIA, MWSS and Bulacan Province to the water users
such as irrigators and/or water supply companies is to enhance water saving activities
(Strategic Issue-2). With this provision the irrigators relied on the irrigation system of NIA
will be required to pay the annual water charge for the water permit while NIA will be
required by the irrigators to reduce the irrigation facilities fee (IFF) as the balance to the
annual water charge to NWRB. NIA is also required to change the charge system of IFF from
the unit of irrigation area to the unit of used water quantity.
Those disadvantages will be balanced by the advantages, surplus benefits between the
advantages and disadvantages that are estimated to be positive and large based on the
experiences in the advanced countries. If the irrigators of NIA system pay the annual water
charge regularly it will become a legal evidence of the water use (water rights) and the
irrigators would be legally entitled to charge the compensation for the loss induced by the
priority of the municipal water supply in time of emergency to the water supply company. The
surplus water right which is created by the water saving activities by irrigators can be
transferred to the municipal water supply companies with costs by regulation and/or by
trading. The surplus water rights will become an income source of irrigators. The irrigators
also have an incentive to reduce the water permit charge and/or IFF.
Legal Basis to Determine Reservoir Operation Rule to Mitigate Risk from Floods
There is a conflict among water users of Angat Dam, and the regional governments and
residents concerning how to mitigate the region’s flood risks after the flood incident in 2010.
The reservoir operation rule during the extreme floods has not been officially established yet
for Angat Dam by the Joint Operation and Management Committee (JOMC). It is still pending
L-38
in spite of the regulatory arrangements by JOMC due to partly no legal basis on the reservoir
operation rule.
The water rights were vested among NIA, MWSS, NPC and Province of Bulacan, but its
reservoir operation is conflicted among those water users due to shortage of the dependable
flow inside the watershed and the limited storage capacity for flood control during the rainy
season. On the other hand the flood control by the reservoir is the significant interests of the
regional governments and residents downstream. Water uses in the dry season and flood
control in the wet season are mutually tradeoff under its reservoir operation rule. The water
users demand the dam operator to keep the reservoir water level at the highest level even just
before the rainy season, while the local governments and DPWH in charge of mitigating flood
risks demand to keep the reservoir water level at the lowest level. The construction cost of
Angat Dam facilities were originally borne by NPC except a part by MWSS for the municipal
water supply facilities. Neither storage volume allocation nor cost allocation of the common
facilities of the dam was determined among the beneficiaries at the time of the dam
commission. In particular flood control function was simply treated as incidental. The
downstream residents have enjoyed the incidental flood control benefit without the cost share
and the legal basis for the flood control function of the dam. In Japan the flood control
function of large dams is defined legally by the allocation of reservoir volume to flood control.
The cost allocation for the flood control volume is also shared legally among the concerned
beneficiaries in terms of allocation of the common facilities cost of a dam.
In order to resolve the present issue the legal basis to determine the reservoir operation rule of
a large dam shall be established by specifying the flood control function of dam reservoir
linked with the flood control basin plan (FCBP) in which the regional flood control risk level
in a river basin is legally defined. The cost required to keep flood control storage shall be
borne by the public entity concerned.
(2) Specific Multipurpose Dam Law and Civil Code
The key actions related with the strategic issue-5, introduction of specific multipurpose dam
law presented in Section L.3.2.2 are compiled in Annex-T L.3.3.2. The issue-5 and the issue-8
(Manage and Mitigate Risks from Water-related Disasters) are mutually correlated. The
highlighted actions for the strategic issues-5 and 8 are: to introduce specific law to define an
equitable cost allocation of multipurpose dams; to establish flood control account for
multipurpose dams; and to define water permit as tradable property in the civil code.
With the actions to resolve the strategic issue-5 and 8 the following outcomes would be
materialized:
 Multipurpose dam projects will be enhanced based on the legal basis on the cost and
reservoir volume allocation rule among multiple water users including both public and
private sectors (Issue-5);
 The national and regional government will be legally responsible to share equitably the
cost of flood control function of dam reservoirs with water users to mitigate regional
risks from floods linked with the flood control basin plan (Issue-5 & 8); and
 Water permit will be defined as property or asset which can be treated as guaranty in
the civil code (Issue-5).
The heavy cost burden owing to the reservoir operation rule for flood control function of a
large dam will be equitably mitigated by the cost share by the relevant national and local
governments.
L.3.4 Capacity Improvement of Organizations
Section L.3.4.1 briefs the result of the capacity assessment of the existing line agencies and LGUs for
respective sector roles: planning of provincial governments and integrated area development, water
resources management, irrigation, municipal water supply, sanitation and sewerage, flood control and
L-39
mitigation of natural disasters, forest and watershed management, water quality management, and
mitigation of sediment disaster and soil control.
The key actions related with the capacity strengthening of the line agencies and LGUs in Section
L.3.2.2 are integrated and recompiled from the organizational aspect, and presented in Section L.3.4.2
only for the organizations for which capacity strengthening is assessed necessary. Section L.3.4.3
presents the key actions required for capacity development of the missing functions focusing on the
functions of river basin organizations.
L .3.4.1 Capacity Assessment of Existing Line Agencies and LGUs
(1) General
Under the decentralization and rationalization policies, the present institutional arrangements
for the functional relationships among the national government agencies and local
governments are still in transition. The roles of the national government and local
governments have not been unified, and those vary depending on the sector policy and
prevailing conditions. Annex-F L.1.2.2 illustrates the present functional relationships among
the water related national government agencies and local governments. The illustrated relation
is still progressive as of March 2010,
(2) Planning of Provincial Governments and Integrated Area Development
Planning of the provincial government is well executed by the provincial planning and
development office (PPDO) under LGC of 1991. Integrated area development approach has
been well deployed for integration and prioritization of inter-provincial and inter-municipal
development projects under Regional Development Council (RDC) of Region III. The role of
RDC is the policy coordination and decision-making body in the region. The functions of
RDC are formulation of development plans and investment programs, project monitoring, and
budgeting and investment programming. The organization structure of RDC Region III is
illustrated in Annex-F L.3.4.1.
No specific issues were identified to empower the existing PPDO and RDC management
through the steering committee meetings, technical working group meetings and stakeholder
consultations except missing functions for IWRM Plan implementation.
(3) Water Resources Management
The various issues identified for water resources management include (refer to Section 5.7 and
Section 8.4 of the Main Report):
(d) Risk of failure of sustainable water sources for the municipal water supply in the region
including groundwater;
(e) Risk of failure of securing water sources for expansion of large irrigation system;
(f) Inadequate reliability of water supply in Angat-Umiray System; and
(g) Expected increase of conflict among water users, municipal and irrigation water, and
hydropower generation.
Both legal and organizational empowerment is required to resolve these issues.
(4) Irrigation
In irrigation sector National Irrigation Administration (NIA) plays a main role of
implementation, operation and maintenance of the nation’s irrigation systems in collaboration
with local governments except private irrigation systems (refer to present status of the
irrigation sector in Section L.1.2.3 (2)).
No specific issues were identified to empower the existing irrigation management through the
steering committee meetings, technical working group meetings and stakeholder consultations
(refer to Section 5.2 and Section 8.2 of the Main Report). Water rights of irrigators are weak in
Pampanga river basin.
L-40
(5) Municipal Water Supply, Sanitation and Sewerage

Annex-T L.1.2.3 illustrates the institutional structure of domestic and municipal water supply
and sanitation among national government agencies and local governments. The NWRB,
Metropolitan Water Works and Sewerage System (MWSS), Local Water Utilities
Administration (LWUA) and LGUs are regulatory agencies for water supply (refer to present
status of the water supply and sanitation sector in Section L.1.2.3 (1)).
No specific issues were identified to empower the existing urban and rural water supply
management in Pampanga River through the steering committee meetings, technical working
group meetings and stakeholder consultations except implementation of sewerage system
(refer to Section 5.3 and Section 8.3 of the Main Report).
(6) Flood Control and Mitigation of Natural Disasters
Flood control requires a river basin approach participated with multiple government agencies.
Annex-T L.1.2.4 illustrates the institutional structure of national government agencies in flood
control. The DPWH has played a main role in flood control and oversees its national and
regional projects (refer to present status of the flood control and natural disasters sector in
Section L.1.2.3 (3)).
No specific issue was identified to empower the existing flood control and natural disaster
management in Pampanga River through the steering committee meetings, technical working
group meetings and stakeholder consultations except O&M of the river facilities (refer to
Section 5.4 and Section 8.4 of the Main Report).
The issue of the reservoir operation of the multipurpose dam, mostly operated by NPC and
NIA, is identified to improvement for both during draught period and during extreme floods
incidence (refer to Section L.3.2.2).
(7) Forest and Watershed Management
Annex-T L.1.2.5 illustrates the regulatory functions and corresponding responsible national
government agencies and LGUs in watershed and forest management. Pursuant to Executive
Order No. 192 (10 June 2007), the DENR is the primary government agency responsible for
the conservation, management, development and proper use of the environment and natural
resources, including forests and watershed areas through the Forest Management Bureau
(FMB) (refer to present status of the flood control and natural disasters sector in Section
L.1.2.3 (4)).
The legal and organizational framework of forest and water shed management is well defined.
The issue identified is how to empower the executing capacity at site with collaboration with
RBCO, FMB, LGUs, NIA and NPC (refer to Section 5.5 and Section 8.5 of the Main Report).
(8) Water Quality Management (fresh water, coast water)
The Clean Water Act (CWA), RA No. 9275-2004 provides, among others, that DENR in
coordination with NWRB shall designate certain areas as water quality management areas
using appropriate physiographic units such as watersheds, river basins or water resources
regions (refer to present status of the flood control and natural disasters sector in Section
L.1.2.3 (5)).
The issue identified is how to empower the monitoring system and the executing capacity with
collaboration with RBCO, EMB, LGUs and related line agencies through the steering
committee meetings, technical working group meetings and stakeholder consultations (refer to
Section 5.6 and Section 8.6 of the Main Report).
(9) Mitigation of Sediment Disaster and Soil Control
The Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) under the Department of
Agriculture (DA) remains responsible for the assessment, development and preservation of
existing and potential soil and water resources for agriculture.
L-41
No specific issues were identified to empower the sediment disaster and soil control
management in Pampanga river basin through the steering committee meetings, technical
working group meetings and stakeholder consultations (refer to Section 5.4 and Section 8.4 of
the Main Report).
L .3.4.2 Key Actions to Strengthen NGAs/RLAs and LGUs
The national government agencies (NGAs) and the local government units (LGUs) subject to legal
amendment and capacity improvement based on the organizational capacity assessment in Section
L.3.4.1 are summarized in Table L.3.4.1.

The key actions and the strategic issues related with the capacity strengthening of NGAs/RLAs and
LGUs in Section L.3.2.2 are re-compiled in Annex-T L.3.4.4.
L .3.4.3 Capacity Building of Missing Functions for IWRM
(1) Mission and Functions for IWRM
To which extent the mission of the IWRM is to be targeted? The IWRM mission covering the
three key management elements is recommended to apply to Pampanga river basin among the
three options presented in Section L.2.1.3 (refer to Figure L.2.1.1).
The IWRM mission at any level is made functional provided with an essential support of
monitoring system and database system for scientific and equitable coordination and
management.
To achieve the mission of the foregoing IWRM the following functions are envisaged to be
introduced (Refer to Issue-1, Issue-10 & Issue-11 in Table L.2.3.1):
 To make IWRM policy and plan, coordinate, localize the IWRM Plan;
 To implement and maintain the IWRM Plan including key water-related projects and
corresponding operation and maintenance;
 To regulate and monitor water rights;
 To prepare water resources development plan for the basin’s water rights;
 To advocate IWRM and monitor water and watershed environment; and
(2) Definition of Missing Functions under Existing Organizations
Creation of new agencies is not encouraged in Region III because the existing
instrumentalities of the bureaucracy are very capable and in better position to implement
IWRM initiatives. New entities may only be created out of the abolition of existing ones or
merger of two or more government organizations under scrap-and build principle. The role of
RDC is the policy coordination and decision-making body in the region. The functions of
L-42
RDC are formulation of development plans and investment programs, project monitoring, and
budgeting and investment programming. Integration and prioritization of development
projects can be handled by RDC.
The mission and functions of the IWRM will not be materialized in Pampanga river basin by
the capacity strengthening of the existing organizations presented in Section L.3.4.2 and
Section L.3.4.3 only. The questions related with the missing functions are:
 Who will maintain and manage the IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin after the
JICA Study?
 Who will take charge of overseeing, advocating, localization and maintenance of the
IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin?
 How the NWRB regulates the water rights conflicts which could be more serious in the
future?
 Who will take charge of the financial burden of implementing IWRM in practice?
 How to authorize publicly a core or apex regulating organization with relevant
mandates without creation of a conflicting layer of authority?
RBO will be designed to take charge of the missing functions identified in Section L.3.4.3 (2),
and it is also envisaged to answer to these questions.
(3) Options of River Basin Organization
Description of Options
The TWG Meetings (February 24, 2010), Stakeholder Consultation (March 11, 2010) and
Focus Group Discussion (March 17, 2010) were executed to discuss about the IWRM mission,
the position of the regional water governance, the type, functions and options of river basin
organization (RBO) (refer to Section L.2.1 and L.2.2). The advantages and disadvantages of
the three of options, RBO under RBCO/ DENR, River Basin Committee (RBC) of RDC, and
an independent River Basin Council (RBC) are summarized in Table L.3.4.2. The organization
charts for the three options are illustrated in Annex-F L.3.4.2 for RBO under RBCO,
Annex-F L.3.4.3 for RBC of RDC and Annex-F L.3.4.4 for independent RB Council
respectively. The position of water rights regulation of NWRB is illustrated in
Annex-F L.3.4.5.
Table L.3.4.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of three RBO options
RBO Option Advantage Disadvantage
RBO under -Strong integration of watershed, forest and -Weak leadership of LGUs;
RBCO/DENR water quality management under DENR; -Unclear function of water rights
-Strong mandate under President Office; regulation;
-Budgetary allocation from DENR; -Weak technical capacity at field works;
-Potential overlapping functions with
RDC
-Implementation by NGAs/RLAs and
LGUs is required because RBO has no
execution function;
RBC of RDC -Strong coordination by the existing RDC -Implementation by NGAs/RLAs and
without overlapping authority; LGUs is required because RBO has no
-NWRB keeps function of water rights execution function;
regulation; -Weak technical capacity at field works;
-RDC leadership of IWRM Plan and investment -Present MOA for O&M of Pampanga
programs; Delta FCF does not work well;
Independent -Strong advocacy power with the regional -Implementation by NGAs/RLAs and
RBC interests; LGUs is required because RBO has no
-NWRB keeps the function of water rights execution function;
regulation; -O&M Budgetary allocation by LGUs and
NGAs/RLAs;
L-43
Description of River Bain Committee of RDC Region III

The attendants of the Focus Group Discussion supported the River Basin Committee proposed
by NEDA region III under RDC Region III as the best option among the three options. It is
still not final but is subject to the review and decision by the steering committee.
The mission and functions of IWRM recommended by the Study Team separates basically the
function of RDC from the functions of IWRM; the policy coordination and decision-making
on the area development projects in the region.
The advantage of the RBC of RDC is that advocate and maintenance of the IWRM Plan for
Pampanga river basin can be executed under the strong coordination by the existing RDC
without overlapping authority, while the implementation of the project plans and programs
will remain under the jurisdiction of concerned LGUs, RLAs, or Government Owned and
Controlled Corporation (GOCC). The RBC will lead in the advocacy for the adoption of the
IWRM Plan in the respective plans and investment programs of the bureaucratic levels.
Working together, Pampanga river basin-IWRM Plan implementation will be the joint and
collective responsibilities of all the sectors concerned.
Its disadvantage is that the technical execution capacity at field works is weak and a financial
support from the national government agency is not available because the RBC is independent
from NGAs.
L .3.4.4 Design of River Basin Committee
(1) Objective of River Basin Committee
The objective of the Pampanga River Basin Committee setup under the Regional
Development Council of NEDA Region III, hereinafter referred to as the Committee is to
materialize the IWRM Plan for Pampanga river basin (Pampanga river basin-IWRM) in
collaboration with the implementing line agencies and local governments. The mission of the
IWRM for Pampanga river basin is to manage the whole water resources and environment for
securing safe water supply, safety against flood and other natural disasters, and water quality
by a river basin unit in line with the National IWRM Plan Framework (November 2006).
(2) Territorial Jurisdiction
The Committee shall have jurisdiction over all the area within Pampanga river basin from the
origins to the estuaries.
(3) Allocation of Power and Functions for Implementing IWRM
Key national government agencies (NGAs) are responsible for sector policy, planning,
implementing and monitoring of national projects, and regulatory function specific to their
jurisdiction. Local Governments at all administrative levels retain de facto responsibilities of
public utilities including water supply and sanitation for policy, planning, and regulatory
functions specific to their jurisdictions, through respective Local Government Units (LGUs).
The NGAs also takes charge of the public works and infrastructure projects and other facilities,
programs and services funded by the National Government Appropriation Act, other special
laws, pertinent executive orders, and those wholly or partially funded from foreign sources.
The Regional Development Council (RDC), a policy coordination and decision-making body
regulates and approves inter-provincial and government loan projects (refer to
Annex-FL3.4.1). The NEDA requires endorsement for implementation from the concerned all
provinces for the RDC’s approval. The secretariat of RDC is NEDA.
The Committee takes charge of the decision making and coordination at the level of
committee specific to the mission of the IWRM for the Pampanga river basin-IWRM only
which is not included in the existing functions of NGAs/RLAs, LGUs and RDC: to make
policy and plan, to monitor, oversee and coordinate, and to secure funding to conduct
activities for Pampanga river basin-IWRM, while NGAs, RLAs and LGUs are responsible to
L-44
implement the decision of the Committee specific to Pampanga river basin-IWRM (refer to
Annex-FL 3.4.3).
The provincial river basin sub-committee is an option that is able to be established depending
on necessity of respective provinces.
(4) Power and Functions of the Committee
The Committee has a power of decision on its functions at the level of committee of RDC.
However RDC Region III has authority to reverse the decision.
The Committee shall perform the following functions:
 To make Pampanga river basin-IWRM policy and plan, coordinate, localize the IWRM
Plan;
 To oversee and coordinate the implementation of Pampanga river basin-IWRM Plan;
– To arbitrate (resolve issues/conflict) and monitor water rights;
– To regularly review and update water resources development plan based on the
monitoring data;
– To advocate Pampanga river basin-IWRM and monitor water quality and quantity
and watershed environment;
– To monitor O&M of the river facilities;
 To secure funding sources to support the activities for Pampanga river basin-IWRM;
 To establish, to supplement or to scrap Technical Working Groups (TWG) for specific
purposes which support the Committee such as providing necessary information and
technical advocating and monitoring activities including data collection, clarification
and analyses;
 To enforce the committee members (LGUs, RLAs, NGAs, NGOs) to execute the
specific tasks as determined by the Committee;
(5) Organizational Structure and Secretariat
The Committee shall be composed of members, a chairperson, a co-chairperson, vice
chairperson, secretariat and TWGs as shown in Figure L.3.4.1.

L.3.5 Strengthening of Financial Capacity for Sustainable IWRM
L .3.5.1 Key Actions to Strengthen Financial Capacity
The Strategic issues and key actions to strengthen financial capacity for sustainable IWRM of the line
agencies and local government units are re-compiled in Annex-T L.3.5.1. The key actions are namely:
to empower the financial capacity of NWRB; to increase the fund of DENR for water quality
monitoring; to introduce the beneficiary’s pay principle and to collect funds from the proposed
Pampanga river basin-Water Users Association; to increase the share of DPWH O&M budget for the
river facilities; and to set-up special accounts for sustainable Pampanga river basin-IWRM.
L .3.5.2 Fund Sources for Sustainable IWRM
(1) General
How to materialize the financial sustainability for Pampanga river basin-IWRM is one of the
biggest challenges in the prevailing policy of the Philippines. To achieve the financial
sustainability sources of the necessary funds, method of collection and allocation of the funds
are to be clarified. In-depth discussion and concrete actions will be necessary about this
agenda during the course of implementing Pampanga river basin-IWRM.
(2) Potential Fund Sources
There are various potential fund sources for the activities of RLAs, LGUs and NGAs and for
operating the River Basin Committee (RBC). Enacting the Republic Act or an Executive
Order is a definitive solution but it may be not practicable. The concerned National and
Regional Line Agencies and LGUs will be required to find new fund sources by themselves.
Potential fund sources are listed below as an example.
(a) For the Activities of RLAs, LGUs and NGAs for Pampanga river basin-IWRM
1) Annual operation and maintenance (O&M) budget for the infrastructures such as
dikes, pumping stations, flood gates, dredging, etc. of NGAs/RLAs and LGUs
2) Revenue in General Accounts of
a. Exploitation fee/royalty of LGUs: gravels and sands, mining, floating logs, fish
L-48
culture, etc.
b. Annual water charge for water permit (municipal, fisheries, livestock, irrigation,
power generation, industrial, recreation, others) of NWRB
c. Land tax from new lands created by coastal reclamation, former channel
reclamation, etc. of LGUs
d. Utilization fee of the area inside the river regime (parks, tennis court, baseball
ground, school ground, driving school, golf course) of LGUs
3) Financial Aid Program (Sector loan for rehabilitation of river facilities)
(b) For Operating the Committee
1) Allocation of the revenue of the General Accounts
a. Exploitation fee/royalty of LGUs
b. Annual water charge for water permit
2) Water user’s association fee
Annual water charge for water permit collected by NWRB is the revenue of DBM at present
but some portion of the charge may be allowed to be allocated to the specific purpose of water
resources management and water rights regulation. The utilization of the area inside the river
regime is a potential source of the public land use. Fee from the water user’s association of
industries and factories is also a potential source.
(3) Collection and Allocation
Potential methods of collecting necessary funds and allocating collected funds are listed as
follows:
(a) Increase the share of the O&M budget of DPWH for the river facilities which is much
smaller than that of highways and roads, of NIA for the irrigation facilities (IFF is not
sufficient), and of DENR for the monitoring systems
(b) Make a part of the revenue in the general accounts as a special account for the O&M:
items a, b, c, d
(c) Collect strictly the annual water charge for water permit based on the beneficiaries’ pay
principle (BPP) from the organization which does not pay now, such as NIA, NPC, etc. It
can be used as a fund to establish and operate water right monitoring and enforcement.
The annual charge for hydropower use is generally highest from BPP in the international
standard.
(d) Establish water user’s associations for the new RBC and collect association member fee
for commercial and industrial activities (hydro-electric power, fish culture, river – water
tourism, navigation, plant, agriculture, etc) based on the BPP for the operation and
maintenance of monitoring systems and preservation activities of water environment in
the river basin as is in some European countries.

Sector M. Water-related Data Management
M.1 General
M.1.1 Data Classification
Data to be used for planning, monitoring and their management are key components for efficient and
effective water resources management in a river basin. In general, the following categories of data
are necessary to be collected and managed properly when water resources management is
implemented.
(1) General data
The general data include fundamental information not only for water resources management
but also other development and management activities in a region. The information
extracted from a general topographic map, statistical information on demography, regional
economy and so on, basic socio-natural condition such as land cover, land category, geology
and hydrogeology are included in this category.
(2) Basic data for water resources management
The basic data for water resources management are specific for water resources management.
The information on facilities related to water use such as storage dam, diversion dam, canal,
irrigation area, production wells, as well as location of monitoring stations for stream flow
(both for water quantity and quality) and climate condition, are included in this category.
The delineated sub-basins and catchments are likewise grouped here.
(3) Monitoring/Permit data
The monitoring/permit data are further divided into the following categories.
 Monitoring data related to water resources such as observation record of quantity,
quality and water level of stream flow, water level of monitoring wells and climatic
conditions
 Operation record of storage dam and diversion dam
 Water use permit
 Waste water discharge permit
 Control monitoring record for water use permit and waste water discharge permit
(4) Analysis/Planning data
Various data categorized are used to develop data for planning and analysis such as surface
water and groundwater availability. The information which shows future visions and
projects in a river basin is also included in this category. The information would be utilized
for decision support for water resources management in a river basin.
(5) Knowledge data
Any practical knowledge from previous experiences in activities related to water resources
management in a river basin is also important and it should be accumulated for future use.
In this section, the existing data and knowledge management in NWRB is firstly described. Secondly,
the existing condition of the water-related data and information in the study area is summarize with
issues and concerns for their utilization.

Figure M. 1.2.1 Existing Official Data and Knowledge Management Options in NWRB
(1) NWRB Intranet

The intranet started its operation in 2006. The main objectives are to facilitate knowledge
sharing among divisions, ensure transparency, easy dissemination of information and improve
the different business processes of NWRB. The wide use of intranet has improved the
tracking of water permit applications, improved service delivery to clients both external and
internal, improved our policy development and documentation and improved our organization
and structure. The contents vary from press releases, policy resolutions, Memorandum of
Agreement, minutes of meetings, pictures taken from different events, different NWRB forms
such as leave forms and travel order forms and other NWRB related information. Update of
the intranet is done monthly by the identified contributors in each division. A dedicated server
for the portal is installed at NWRB.
Annex-F M.1.2.1 shows the main page of the NWRB intranet.
(2) Official website of NWRB (www.nwrb.gov.ph)
NWRB currently maintains its own official website. However, due to the transfer of the
agency under the DENR, a new one is now being prepared for integration as a subdomain of
the latter.
M-2
The current website of NWRB contains brief introduction of NWRB, mission, vision,
organizational structure, accomplishments, profiles of different divisions, fees and charges and
other NWRB water related information. The water permit application form can also be
downloaded through this site. Update of the web is done occasionally by NWRB staff..
The website is hosted outside NWRB.
As detailed in the succeeding sections, a website was developed for purposes of this study.
To access this, a link was created in NWRB’s website.
Annex-F M.1.2.2 shows the main page of the official website of NWRB.
(3) Philippine Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Portal (www.philwatsan.org.ph)
The PhilWATSAN portal started as a project initiated by NWRB in 2006, in collaboration
with other government agencies, with support from the German Technical Cooperation
Agency (GTZ)- Water Sanitation Program. By 2007, it was institutionalized as a
government program now being pursued by 10 collaborating agencies serving as the Technical
Working Group (TWG) to the portal: National Water Resources Board, Department of Interior
and Local Government- Water Supply and Sanitation Project Management Office
(DILG-WSSPMO), Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA), Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), National Economic Development Authority
(NEDA), National Anti-Poverty Commission – Water Supply and Sanitation Coordinating
Office(NAPC-WASCO), Department of Agriculture- Bureau of Soils and Water Management
(DA-BSWM), Department of Health (DOH), Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System
(MWSS), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The portal contains policies,
projects/programs, research/publications and statistics related to water supply and sanitation
sector. It is not just a repository of data and information. It is also a dynamic tool for
monitoring the country’s progress as currently pursued under the Philippine Water Supply
Sector Roadmap. Update of information is done by member agencies through the internet.
Annex-F M.1.2.3 shows the main page of the PhilWATSAN portal.
(4) National Water Information Network (NWIN) website (www.nwin.nwrb.gov.ph)
The National Water Information Network (NWIN) 39) started in 2000 as a project to address
the need to rationalize the collection of water related data. It is a computer-based system
capable of electronically linking the databases of water resources data collection agencies and
provide easy access to user agencies. NWRB acts as a central repository of data to which
various participating agencies are linked such as National Water Resources Board (NWRB),
Bureau of Research and Standards (BRS), Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), Mines
and Geo-sciences Bureau (MGB), Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA), National
Irrigation Administration (NIA), National Economic Development Authority (NEDA),
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)
and the Department of Interior and Local Government- Water Supply and Sanitation
Management Office (WSSPMO-DILG). The NWIN website contains rainfall data, stream
flow data, water quality data, dam inventory, groundwater data, list of rivers and water permits
data. NWRB used to keep high speed cable connections among participating agencies and
maintains the 24x7 website hosting but due to budget constraints the physical connections
have been disconnected making it difficult for participating agencies to upload data directly to
the servers. They were also restrained from publishing some information due to policy
issues raised by other participating agencies. The website is now hosted outside NWRB.
There was no significant update of data since 2004 except for water permit data being
regularly updated by NWRB.
Annex-F M.1.2.4 shows the main page of the NWIN website.
NWRB plans to maintain a single website by integrating all the above mentioned websites to better
serve the public.

M.1.4 Major Concerns and Issues on Existing Condition of Water-related Data in the Study
Area
Based on the collected data and information described in the foregoing subsection, necessary spatial
data for water resources management planning in the study area have been prepared as listed in
Annex-T M.1.4.1, M.1.4.2, M.1.4.3 and M.1.4.4.
The major issues and concerns for the existing condition of water-related data in the study area are
described below based on the experience on the data collection.
(1) General data
 Fortunately, new NAMRIA 1:50,000 topographic maps prepared in 2008 are available
for most of the study area in vector format. This made the study team to utilize the
most updated land condition in the study area.
 DENR Region III has prepared a lot of general data, most of which were extracted
from the old NAMRIA topographic maps, that are available for the study and these
were utilized. The agency, however, can’t specifically identify which data were
developed in-house and which were sourced from other government offices.
 Administrative boundary is different for many different data sources. It is difficult to
fix the administrative boundary in the present study. NWRB and the study team
agreed to use the administrative boundary given by the NAMRIA topographic maps.
 In many municipalities/cities, a landuse plan is still under preparation. Moreover,
landuse type used by LGUs is different with each other. It is difficult to prepare an
integrated landuse map for the provincial government.
 Some data for ancestral domains and protected areas only indicate a general
description of the areas, such as the name of the municipality or barangay.
Assumptions had to be made to approximate the locations of these features.
 Some data lack or have no information at all on the coordinate system. This affects
the accuracy of their locations as assumptions had to be made on their geographic
positions. This is also the case with other data classifications.
(2) Basic data for water resources management
 There is a database in NIA for irrigation related facilities in vector format. Part of this
database is available for the study. Other information is basically available in
non-vector format. A lot of basic data are created by the study team, refereeing the
existing information and so on.
 To maintain consistency to the general data, it was sometimes necessary to adjust the
data, especially in their location.
 The data and information of production wells are scattered in several agencies,
although LWUA has solid database for production wells.
(3) Monitoring/permit data
 Monitoring and permit data are the most frequently changing. However, they are
scattered among several different agencies. There is no integrated management of
those data.
 Processed climatic data from PAGASA are not free in general.
 Some monitoring data for production wells are kept in water districts. It is necessary
to collect the data one by one.
 There are limited data available for surface water quality in the study area.
M-5
 Operation record of storage dam and diversion dam is available for NWRB by request
basis. However, there is no direct and synchronized sharing of the information among
the related agencies.
 The waster water discharge permit data are not well organized. It is difficult to
extract necessary information for assessment of pollution load from the filed
information for discharge permits.
 There is no solid database for control monitoring both for water use permit and waste
water discharge permit. This may cause the difficulty for the monitoring activities to
be reflected in the assessment and planning processes.
(4) Analysis/Planning data
 The data were prepared during the course of the present study.
(5) Knowledge data
 There is no database for integrating previously accumulated knowledge for the water
resource management in the study area.
M-6
M.2 GIS Database Development

M.2.1 Overview
The capability of Geographic Information System (GIS) to efficiently capture, store, update,
manipulate, analyze and display all forms of geographically referenced information makes it a very
powerful tool in making decisions. It is useful for natural resources management, disaster
management, urban and regional planning, transportation studies, utilities management, etc.
The development of a comprehensive GIS database offered the study team a better insight of the
conditions of the Pampanga River Basin and its surrounding areas. It provided support to the
analyses made in the study.
M.2.2 Data Collection
Majority of the base data came from The Study for Mapping Policy and Topographic Mapping for
Integrated National Development Plan in the Republic of Philippines by NAMRIA-JICA on 2008 that
updated several 1:50,000 topographic map sheets in Central Luzon. Figure M.2.2.1 shows its
coverage which overlaps about 75% of the Pampanga River Basin. Additional base data were
obtained from DENR Region III, which developed their own GIS database from old NAMRIA
1:50,000 maps.
Figure M. 2.2.1 Coverage of 2008 NAMRIA-JICA Mapping Study
The study team also collected specific data from various government agencies related to the offices’
mandate (e.g. DENR-PAWB for protected areas, NCIP for indigenous peoples, NSO for population,
etc.)
Relevant data that are freely distributed over the internet, such as the WorldClim and SRTM, were
downloaded and used in the study.
The data were gathered in both hard and softcopy formats and required the necessary processing in
order to be integrated into the GIS database. Generally, the collected raw data came in the following
formats:
M-7
(1) ESRI Shapefile

(2) ESRI ArcInfo Coverage
(3) AutoCAD DWG/DXF
(4) Microsoft Excel
(5) Raster Images (JPG, TIFF, PDF, etc.)
(6) Google Map KML/KMZ files
(7) Lot Technical Descriptions
(8) Text Descriptions
(9) Harcopies
M.2.3 GIS Database Build-up
After evaluating the collected data, they were integrated into the GIS database. It primarily involves
the conversion of all data to digital format and making them conform to the adopted standards.
The quality of the data were checked and edited. Errors such as overlapping features, gaps, unclosed
polygons and other inconsistencies were corrected and the final output were stored in the database.
Annex-T M.1.4.1, M.1.4.2, M.1.4.3 and M.1.4.4 list all the spatial data created and used in the study.
M.2.3.1 Data Types
(1) ESRI Shapefile
The main GIS data format used in the study is the ESRI Shapefile.
(2) Tables
Using a common attribute, a table maybe linked to a GIS database to provide additional
information. Temporarily joining two or more tables minimizes the number of fields in the
GIS data. Figure M.2.3.1 shows samples of simple linking of tables.
Figure M. 2.3.1 Linking of Tables
The list in Annex-T M.1.4.2 also indicates to which GIS data a particular table may be linked.
The data formats used are Microsoft Excel (.xls), dBase (.dbf), and comma-separated values
(.csv).
(3) Raster
The study used GeoTIFF and JPG (along with their corresponding world files) as raster data
formats.
M-8
(4) Hyperlink
Incidentally, only Microsoft Excel files were used as hyperlinks for this study. But generally,
any file format may be used.
M.2.3.2 Coordinate System
The raw data collected came in different coordinate systems. Though, as mentioned in the previous
sections, some lack or has no information at all so assumptions had to be made to process these data.
To maintain consistency with the NAMRIA 1:50,000 maps which were used as the basemap, the
coordinate system used in the study is UTM Zone 51 N, Luzon 1911 datum.
M.2.3.3 Directory Structure
The GIS data prepared in the study are stored in a directory named as “PRB-IWRM”. It is further
organized into the following sub-directories:
(1) Database_AV
This directory contains all the shapefiles, tables and hyperlinked data..
(2) Raster
This directory contains all the raster data.
(3) Maps
From the GIS database, various thematic maps were produced to support the analyses of the
study team.
Selected from all the maps that were created throughout the study, a final set was made and
grouped according to the following sectors:
(a) Agriculture / Irrigation and Fishery
(b) Municipal Water Supply, Sanitation and Sewerage
(c) Management of Flood and Sediment Disasters
(d) Watershed Management
(e) Water-related Environment Management
(f) Others
The maps are in ESRI ArcGIS Map (.mxd), version 9.3. They are also exported to JPG
format as found in the Quicklooks directory.
(4) Documentation
Information about GIS-related data are found in this directory.
The ArcGIS software requires the replication of directory structures when the files are transferred from
one machine to another. For this study, the MXD files were routed to the N: drive. A batch file,
Start_PRB-IWRM.bat, containing a command that would substitute any directory to a temporary N:
drive was created. This makes it easier for the data to be stored in the users’ preferred location.
Using any text file editor software, the file may be modified to configure the directory path.
Figure M.2.3.2 shows the contents of the batch file when opened in Windows Notepad. When it is
executed, the path C:¥Projects¥PRB-IWRM will be substituted as N: drive.
M-9
Figure M. 2.3.2 Batch File Configuration
M.2.4 Technical Transfer

On March 2010, a three-day training on GIS was conducted by the JICA Study for the NWRB
counterpart personnel. The first two days were focused on an overview of basic GIS concepts and an
introduction to the functionalities of ESRI’s ArcGIS software. The third day, meanwhile, was held in
preparation for another training involving Runoff Analysis Modeling. Using GIS, actual input data
were prepared for use in the said training.
The training materials used in these activities are shown in Training Material and Manuals (separate
volume in digital format).
When the study was already near its concluding stages, a presentation was also held to brief the
NWRB staff on all the GIS data created and used for the project.
M-10
M.3 Pampanga River Basin IWRM Study Website

 By File Extension (e.g. pdf, doc, xls, jpg, etc.)
 By Category (e.g. reports, maps, statistics, presentations, etc.)
(7) Google Maps Interface
For sharing spatial information, the website was interfaced with the Google Maps application.
It allows users not only to view map data that were created and utilized in the study, but also
to make their own contributions to the datasets. However, restrictions were set on how these
will be accepted to regulate and filter any irrelevant data.
The data may be represented as point, line or polygon features.
(a) Study Data
The GIS data used in the study were transformed to Geographic Coordinate System
(WGS84 datum) and were converted to KML file format for Google Map compatibility.
They are overlaid against the application as layers of information where display may be
turned on/off using checkboxes.
(b) User-Contributed Data
Users may also contribute additional information through the following options:
 Digitizing: The user clicks on the map the corresponding location of the feature
and then adds a description.
 Coordinate Input: The user inputs the geographic coordinates of the feature in
Decimal Degrees or DMS (Degrees-Minutes-Seconds) format and then adds a
description. For lines or polygons, these coordinates will be treated as vertices
where the first and the last pairs correspond to the features’ endpoints or the points
of closure, respectively.
 Upload their own KML’s
(8) Forum
The website features pages where members may communicate with each other in a forum or
message board style.
This section may be accessed by select members only.
(9) Contact Us
For the people to send feedbacks, the website provides the contact details of NWRB. It
contains the agency’s mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, email address, and location
map.
